We want maintainers to focus on small, targeted fixes. This is mainly, at the maintainers discretion, there will be no hard rule that will be enforced." So ideally we try to avoid packaging new upstream releases and make only small bug fixes with patches. However it is "at the maintainers discretion". I think freeplane is a leaf package and the risk of breaking something unrelated is zero in this case. If you are sure, the new release will be usable and introduce no major regressions, you should be fine. "No new packages, no re-entry, normal migrations" means that every package that is not in testing on 2019-02-12 will not be released in Buster, e.g. triplea. Cheers, Markus
