Klaus,

it's great to see posts like this!

Just a note: in Spacewalk, we do not distinguish the odd and even
numbered releases from the stability point of view. And in fact, from
no point of view. ;-) Both types of releases get the same treatment
by the Spacewalk team when the release is being prepared and cooked.

With 1.6, we've seen increased activity of our community members who
report tracebacks and errors in logs, and many provided patches for
the issues they saw. Let's hope the community activity will continue
even after the 1.6 release.

Yours,
