A rss header arrives here in the same automatic way as an email so i like this rss feeds very much. But it is right that email is the no. 1 on the list what have the most users installed. > I specify "future" changes because what we neetd is to be inform before > the changes not after.

Okay, i have no customers so my situation is another because i spent only my private time where the only pressure is my girlfriend is something is broken.-) And if you say that since 5-7 months the updates getting worser i can only say that i use arch since about this period and the update situation is for me very much better than the former distro what i have used. And this big step to the new gcc including a new kde was here on two pc's an update without any problem. I don't think a lot of other distros will do this in the same perfect way without the danger of an new installation. I never make an automatic updates so the cycle is for me even: First i read about an update in my rss feedreader and then i make a pacman -Syu. During this time i have a look on some packages what have changed and so i can even control what happens ... if i understand it.-) I don't know if you have the time to do the same on a test pc where perhaps the testing repo is activ and you have a tool as at example trueimage to step back to the last working. configuration. Vmware is from my view the best idea for testings of such things.
