Huh? What are you talking about? I released XFree86 3.3.2.3a-2 right before slink froze last October. It saw many revisions before settling on 3.3.2.3a-11 for the release in March. While slink was frozen, XFree86 3.3.3 (and then 3.3.3.1) came out upstream. I did not package a version of XFree86 newer than 3.3.2.3 until after slink was released. I'm not sure what you mean by "backdating", but it doesn't sound like that's what I did. If you're saying I meant to ship 3.3.3 or 3.3.3.1 with slink but reverted to 3.3.2.3a because of problems, you're wrong. -- G.
