Since the stable Gnome release series really seem pretty regression-safe (well, at least that's my impression of how the Gnome project is managed), would it be possible to get releases in the stable series as updates for FC2 even if they don't make it into the original release? If the answer is "no", is it because of perceived destabilization or because it takes time from new development? If it is the latter, would it be possible for volunteer-packaged updates to be considered for inclusion as official updates? (I believe that the FC2 Gnome is very close to upstream, so it's likely that very little patch updating etc would have to be done - is that a correct assumption? I can see that for heavily patched packages would be more difficult for someone who is not the original packager to package a sane update.) /Per
