No. This is the way stable releases work. You can't have the latest and greatest version of the software in the distribution the day it releases and expect the whole thing to actually be stable, and you shouldn't ask the RM to delay the release on account of an impending upstream release of one piece of software. There's *always* new software being released in the community, and KDE is probably very low on the priority list *of those who use stable*. KDE3.2 doesn't miss the deadline by 7 days, it misses the deadline by almost two months: * October 15th Final, last-minute, low-risk bug fixes only If we manage to release Sarge and it contains the current upstream KDE packages for a whole seven days, THAT is a noteworthy improvement all its own. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
