Well, the issue is rather about the risks of introducing a new release, while 1.65 (although not perfect) mostly works. If 1.70 breaks something, that will be bad. > The new version supports newer hardware so it's very usefull. Right. This also means that etch users will also be able to fetch it from lenny, it will install without a problem. And if there are any issues with 1.70, 1.65 will still be easy to use.
