Why would we include epiphany in sarge? It is not at all mature, has not
had wide spread testing, and is not considered stable upstream. It is
also not yet in sarge. I know they're planning a 1.0 release soon, but
to get that and have plenty of time in unstable and testing for people
to find the bugs (in features which have been added over the past few
weeks) does not seem reasonable with a hopefull stable release date of
just over 3 months.
I think Debian has a clear 'political message', one which makes Debian
what it is - Debian stable is really stable. This should be the
overriding thought in our minds when working as Debian developers.

Perhaps we need to make the RC bug list bigger then!
Crashy should mean RC bug.
Even if you can't give information about why it crashes, if an
application crashes regularly, an RC bug should be filed so that people
know that there's a problem.
