The changes between what we shipped in test3 and what we're going to be shipping are extremely small. And we _always_ have to fix bugs in things between test3 and the final release, sometimes larger ones than the diff present there. > The second goes the same way, arguing that if test3 is the latest test > release, any new major component should _not_ be upgraded to a new release, > which is particularly true for a big beast like GNOME. Again, the changes going in at this point are all small targeted bug fixes as they wind down their release cycle. Trust me, we're looking at diffs of everything that's going in at this point and if some component of GNOME goes off and rewrites a huge chunk of how it works, we're not going to pull it in.
