Something I've noticed.
Evening..
Okay, here's the deal. I've got a game playing addiction, and it is really messing me up now :) You see, I like this game called FreeCiv. It's at version 1.6.3 right now, and the Stable of Debian has it at 1.5.x . Now , I realize it's untested and unsafe and oh no, we can't.. and it's in slink, and such..
But here's my question. Games are not mission critical. They often cannot produce bugs so mammoth to reach critical. What is the harm in introducing the CURRENT games/non critical applications into hamm/stable? I know I can go to slink, grab it, and install it.. but I don't like this wonderful dselect tool going to waste because nobody feels that packages like games should be modernized. The thing that seperates us from others, IMHO, is fluidity. If this distro stays static, it's only going to become outdated, and prompt us not to use binaries. BTW, if I install it using Slink's package, dselect nails it as an obsolete package.
See my problem?
