My sentiments exactly. And furthermore, if the package is going to unstable
anyways, people already know they'll get a flood of changes. I upload as soon
as I'm done for the time, ie. I fix all the bugs in one stretch that I can,
and upload. If I two-three hours later find one more bug, I'll remove the
older upload from incoming and upload again.
Dunno if Policy states anything about this, but I think it's The Right Thing
To Do. But then again, everybody is entitled to their own opinion :)
