Names are pretty arbitrary, and having the name be what you consider to be the most urgent problem makes me think this isn't really an issue. It's not Firefox 3.6 that's experimental, regardless; it's at most the *Debian packaging* of it, which is a distinct entity. I can see the argument of people who'd like to have new software in unstable during the freeze period since they're not very interested in the stable release, and that's come up before (such as in the CUT discussions), but as with your note above, this seems most often to be an argument made theoretically by people who aren't personally having significant issues. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
