I agree. If anything I think we should open multiple unstables and allow
maintainers of critical packages to upload say new C++ libraries to the most
remote of them. There should at the very least always be one place to
upload new packages to. This might allow us to pursue a more aggressive
release schedule. End user apps and hardware-interfacing programs (X11)
would go into the closest distribution while base/install floppies/etc would
go into the furthest. Which distribution to target would be at the
discretion of the maintainers.
This is in many ways the package-pool implemented with existing tools and
infrastructure. If goals could be established well enough in advance they
could be tagged to specific releases and people could get to work
immediately on them, rather than waiting until the last minute and delaying
the release of other packages.
If I upload to "potato" rather than "unstable" does dinstall reject it,
and does the announcement go to the right list?
