And be aware that the issue of 'strict' QA policy gets complicated by the existence of security updates. To be fair.. i do believe the kernel packagers have been populating updates-testing tree in a timely manner to get as much community feedback as they can. There is an kernel in updates-testing right now in fact. I do what I can to encourage Core package maintainers to use updates-testing as much as possible, and my encouragement becomes proportionally more aggressive when a notice a regression slip through in an non-security update. My eye-poking stick has become quite blunt and sticky slick with blood from the effort to 'encourage' packagers to use -testing. -jef"place my last sentence here"spaleta
