I am speaking about he releasing his work with an schedule that forces him to release a testing distro which contains packages with serious bugs that have a package solving the problem in unstable. If he wants to recompile such package under testing he is free to do so, but the work of tracking all those packages will be bigger than the one using stable. > BTW, it's not a shame to have to work on Debian's RC bugs, that's how > things go forward ... complaining about them and telling people "go away > we have RC bugs" won't help us to fix them. :-) Never said it was a shame. I am really proud of my (almost) DD status (waiting for DAM). I am here to push it forward. But I also want a potential testing user who claims has tight schedules to know the possible problems basing his work on testing. > Sure.
