That doesn't seem useful for my use-case since it would mean I have to update my chdist sources.list after every release, while using the suite names doesn't require work after every release. I don't think this has to be a one-or-the-other scenario where the different use-case factions try to kill off the features used by other factions rather than living in harmony through co-existing features. I think we can support all use-cases quite simply by: Keeping the existing suite names and adding new *-backports ones. Adding a way for folks to use version-based sources.list entries. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
