Why do people like you insists on having the latest version of
everything without making sure that it's actually _better_ than what we
have?
Rather than repeating what most others have said, I'll give you one more
reason why not rushing 4.2.0 into woody is a good thing: the whole i18n
architecture changed from 4.1 to 4.2, and many bugs _were_ introduced in
the transition -- like X clients segfault on startup if Xlib can't find
the input method specified in the environment, and so on. I for one am
glad that Branden is not rushing things through.
Just because upstream calls something a ".0" or "stable" release,
doesn't automatically mean that it meets our (and our users') quality
expectations. As you said yourself,
