I don't necessarily start a team for every proposal I make. :-) I'm interested to see what the general reception is to the ideas in CUT, I don't know if I've identified everything that needs to be done, or have perhaps chosen some things to do that arn't really necessary. > >A fun though not entirely reliable data source is the "APT prefers" > >lines inserted by reportbug in bug reports.

Does a > survey on pentabarf (or public acessible) during debconf makes sense? The numbers are not entirely reliable since a) not everyone uses reportbug b) some people run reportbug on a machine that doesn't have the bug c) some people file many more bugs reports than others d) it's likey that users of some suites tend to generate more bug reports than others e) there's no differentiation between developers and users d) duplicate bugs are not accounted for But I do think that the numbers are a pretty good indication of how much use testing receives by the kind of user/developer who contributes to Debian. It's not clear to me how a straw poll at Debconf would result in better numbers. > Wrong, if I'm asking for experimental removal I'm assuming that > there's not a lot of people using that. Considering the rest of your > argument, definitely a lot of people will use testing instead this > 'new unstable'. Do you see? No, I don't understand. As I said, unstable will not become significantly more unstable if all experimental uploads are directed there. -- see shy jo
