Hi fellow developers, Is it normal and ok to upload a new major release of a library to unstable, without either a) testing that reverse dependencies do not break, or b) coordinating with maintainers of reverse dpendencies _before_ such upload? Sure, accidents happen - but do the label "unstable" only mean that accidents can happen or also that coordination/warning is optional? Reason for my question is bug#1001591 where (apart from my failures in getting my points across as clearly as I would have desired) me and the involved package maintainer seem to have very different views on the matter, and I would like to understand more generally if I am living is some fantasy World different from common practices in Debian.
