Re: "buzz" created



It will be difficult to have a specific numbered release 1.2.x, unless
the x is updated each time a new package is added to the
release-updates directory.  Is this a good idea?  I suppose that we
could try 1.2.date, but that would need to be UTC.  Mirror sites
cannot guarantee timely updates.  I do believe that an release-updates
directory is necessary.  I just don't know how to number the release.
I plan to release a few less stable elements in the unstable section.
I don't want those changes going out as stable until some amount of
time has passed.
