Also I am not soo comfortable with such changes at this point of time. We have never formally frozen etch-test, to only allow bugfixes in, but I'm thinking maybe we should do so. (And please go ahead with this change now, but maybe this could be the last? - Which reminds me that for the last three weeks or so we failed to hold a meeting - any takers for proposing a new date?) I'm all for lesser restrictions (again & compared to now and to Debian) when preparing debian-edu etch r1 though. regards, Holger
