Hi

Nor can we realistically expect other distros to go and figure out
which magic combination of fixes to apply! Therefor we *must* do
bugfix releases, to make stable, well-working, versions of spice-gtk
available to as wide an audience as possible.

We only stick to a specific version in RHEL. Upstream doesn't have maintained older releases.

The problem is upstream does not have "maintained releases" *at all*, you can leave out
the "older" part, we are not even maintaining the current release, iow we suck.

What I understand you are complaining about is that upstream doesn't have sticky releases with only bugfixes. This is by choice, not by mistake.

This is by *your*, *personal* choice, not something we've decided as a team, and
I say it is about time we change it, and I know for a fact I'm not the only one
with the opinion that this should be changed.

0.16 will be releases as planned, so people following upstream will get the fix.

They will get the fix *this time* because I complained. Doing a band-aid extra
release is not the answer. You conveniently did not respond to me pointing
out that all spice-gtk versions in F-15 to F-18 currently are not "gold"
releases but all "gold" + patches, showing that the current scheme is simply
broken.

Regards,

Hans
