If I don't feel like fixing bugs in one of my packages (think mutt) then I'm going to do something else. But I have a long list of tasks between "work on new packages in unstable" and "fix bugs in mutt". > Motivation is the only factor to make them do things.

I don't feel motivated to work on releases which are not deployable because when they get old they need tens of backports to be useful and a knoppix CD to be installed. Anyway unstable is good enough for my needs, and testing with a few minor changes could be even better. My solution? Stop releasing, and leave this to entities which are motivated enough (or well-financed enough, which is the same thing) to do it. -- ciao, | Marco | [8730 doXLPaWz36Tmo]
