Hi Ok to finally get that into the ArchivePolicy[0], I prepared a diff to the current policy (as requested by the policy). Here it is. So far there were no objections, if you object now, please speak up. I still have to say that I feel very strongly about updating the stable pool, although I see the need for it.

In order to see the bugzilla interaction it is recommended that you write down in your changelog if you close a Debian-Edu/Skolelinux Bug (e.g. * foo bar (Closes Skolelinux Bug #007) ) but keep in mind that you have to close the bug manually in bugzilla! +1.

In addition to these rules we try to follow the normal Rejection-FAQ written by the Debian ftpmasters to make sure we keep the archive legal and keep the packages in good quality.
