And that there doesn't seem to be anywhere for single-package staging to be done. (ie, if I feel that some of my netbase uploads are likely to be buggy and don't want to wreck it for the people who're running critical things on unstable, I'd need to make a request to Guy wait a few days, then upload to a special area) Additionally, this doesn't do any sort of "all packages will be in a staging area for a week just in case they have unexpected severe bugs, and if they don't they'll be moved automatically". There's no reason why these couldn't be added, and, personally, if they were, I think doing something like this would have all the benefits of the whole prerelease thing, without the package-pool thing. Personally. Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <aj@humbug.org.au> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
