Ac is stable release for which we have appropriate branch and Th
is in constant development mode, isn't it?

I am asking because I am bit lost with above arguments - do we
have some new rules for Th? When they changed? :P

To repeat myself "cvs head != Th ftp". If you send it to the builders,
then it is your fault.

Let me rephrase - is anyone planning any work related to Gimp 2.6
on CVS HEAD in near future? If not, then I will do the merge from
DEVEL (but please let non-IRC people know if any rules changed
regarding Th and what's the plan).
