That's a pretty talk order.. and would require some particularly well communicated and agreed on classifications as to what "important" actually means across the spectrum of package maintainers. Sure we could all probably agree that a security update for a package was "important"... but i doubt you'd get agreement on the issue of whether or not a builddep fix was "important" if the builddep fix was needed so that a "popular" dependant package in Extras needed builds in the automated buildsystem. You make it sound like core package maintainers are shoving out packages on a whim. -jef
