With a cherry on top? - Avoid changing the user experence if at all possible. - this is too strong condition. In some cases fixing a bug might inevitable change the user experience and in some cases for example the user experience might be just severally improved with the new release. So IMO this should be reworded with much less strong wording such as 'Avoid major changes and worsening the user experience if at all possible.' This example is IMO wrong: - WebKit requires an update to solve a security problem. This requires updating Midori to a version with some minor menu layout changes. This would be a judgement call based on how intrusive the changes are (removing the File menu would be rude, but moving the plugin configuration menu item would be acceptable). In this case even major changes in user experience are justified - knowingly insecure web browser just should not be used. -- Tomas Mraz No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back.
