There is no need to churn through these frequent changes - they happen,
but I currently don't care as I don't notice any of the bugs right now.
I haven't updated any of the core gnome packages in a month now, and
they seem working well. I only update pan and evolution, currently, as
they have some bugs - and of course, occasionally, they drag in a new
library.
(And yes, I'm a sarge user, basically. Although with gnome2, quite a big
part of sid came in).
