Sure, there is. For instance, what if package foo depends on package bar, and bar has a release-critical bug and won't ever be included in Testing until the bug is fixed? Including packages from Stable will eventually stop working, I suspect. All it takes is one major change in an important library. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you attempt to fix something that isn't broken, it will be. -Bruce Tognazzini -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
