Breaking themselves is NOT acceptable either. What led you to believe
that it is acceptible to place apps into Debian with a not
insignificant risk that our users' vital apps would be compromised?
Mozilla and gnumeric are both relied upon by many people for important
tasks. I shudder to think what the result could be if a spreadsheet
has an arithmetic error, and because of your policy of speed before
quality, it goes into Debian before being tested. This is totally
ludicrous.

Why should we of anything else?
