Second, KDE in unstable is not a good model to follow. Between longstanding FTBFS bugs that ensured KDE 3.3 could not migrate to testing regardless of release policy, and the lack of testing autobuilders ensuring that no RC bugfixes make it to testing either, the upload of kdelibs 3.3 to unstable increased workload for both the KDE maintainers and the release team. Any proposal for GNOME 2.8 in sarge will fare much better if judged on its own merits instead of pointing to KDE 3.3 for precedent.
If this is an answer to my previous mail, two comments :- My point on kde was more "political" that techniwal (or personnal wishes). If gnome-2.8 hit sarge people _will_ want kde-3.3 in too (pressure, flamware. I guest you guys know the drill.
- Good to see that the choice are done on technical quality/sanity. @+, Fab
