[lsb-discuss] AppChecker Survey List

For AppChecker, I presume? How about this phrasing?

 

"It's more important for AppChecker to  support plenty of versions of
the 

mainstream distributions than for it to support one or two versions of
lots

of distributions."

It's supposed to be "support across multiple versions of a single
distribution is more important than support for multiple distros," I
believe.

This could mean several things. It could be taken to as "I think having
different versions of my app be compatible with each other is more
important than them being compatible across several distributions",
which is two issues that aren't strongly related, except insofar as
they both involve development time.

It could also be taken as "I think having AppChecker tell me about
differences in interfaces used by different versions of my app is
more important than what it tells me about my portability between
distros".

But I doubt either of these readings are what was intended, which
is quite unclear to me. Clarification?

Please note: a link to this survey, with a nice invitation, will be
embedded in the final release of AppChecker.

Thanks!
