You have no proof for that. Unstable users are good testers ... and not always "annoying users who will rant after the maintainers". > I really want to see the level of professionalism and excellence displayed > in Debian's server-oriented maintenance reflected in it's GNOME work. The proposed transition is not as bad as you think. I will never advocate anything that would hurt the quality of Debian. On the contrary, I propose things that have the most chance of turning out well based on my experience... > That's most often done with good upstream relations. If we had more upstream involved, you'd have the very same argument between upstream Gnome people. :-) Upstream also has to trust the Debian maintainers from time to time ... because their experience counts as much as the experience from the upstream.
