I am not a contributing developer, so my feelings are just that:
"mine" - and perhaps not that of the QGIS-DEV community, but:<br>
<blockquote>What if you created a resource for downloading from, and
told your students that that is the only version that they be
allowed to download use for your course?<br>
</blockquote>
Yes, this way may still not assist you with bugs you find after the
start of your course and perhaps end of support for that particular
version, but I think part of the appeal of QGIS is that bug fixes
and features "arrive all the time" - and this way you have the
possibility of begging for priority of an issue that particularly
affects you.<br>
<br>
You may be lucky, and there is definite merit in a planned release
sequence rather like Ubuntu Linux, but maybe it is a question of
regular funding.<br>
<br>
I'd be interested in the responses form the QGIS community, but
perhaps we should choose a list and not cross-post every response.<br>
(I have not cross posted this to qgis-user)<br>

Zoltan<br>
