+1 The boundaries shouldn't be very strict, or there could be discussions between the maintainers and the release team in particular cases where there could be a big benefit for the user. Note also that not all new upstream versions are equal (e.g. some are bug-fix releases), not packages are equal (e.g. some have regression tests...), and not all upstreams are equal. > or a soft freeze (as described above) a month (or two) before hard freeze I doubt that it would change much, unless the hard freeze is time limited. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
