There is still enough in the system components stack (or main) to be interesting, do you think a stack of unmaintained "small softwares" in universe is what makes people want to join the project? They could join the same way to help getting those in extras with the benefits that: - they wouldn't need to get access to the main archive, so their job would be easier - it wouldn't add new things to universe that will stay there if whoever has been added those lost interest and create extra work - it wouldn't force upstream developers to fit in an artificial 6 months cycle which might not work for their project It does make sense to freeze and ship a consistent archive for the system components (base system, plumbers, desktop shells, default applications), it doesn't make sense to try to make small softwares (ubuntu-tweaks, simple-lightdm-manager, etc) respect our freezes, cycle, rely on acl to upload to the main archive, etc -- Sebastien Bacher -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
