How does it make packagers life easier, if there are empty version bumps, which also need to be followed by the package manager? From my experience as a packager, it only means more work for no gain, since the content is the same. So as an experience result of the 1.7 series and to avoid wasting time for everyone, i strongly object against doing empty releases again. -- Thomas Sachau Gentoo Linux Developer
