Hi Ivan,

We (the KMail team) receive here daily about two bug reports from
 people that use KMail 1.2 which came with KDE 2.1 on KDE 2.2 and
 that doesn't work properly.
Of course in theory that should work, but in reality there are some
 problems.

I have heard, that there exists a policy, that packages have to
 remain 10 days in unstable, until they can go to testing. Therefore
 this results in people using KMail 1.2 on KDE 2.2.

If it is really not possible to change that, wouldn't it then be
 better to leave the whole KDE release in unstable until all packages
 are ready for testing?

At least the current policy spreads bad light on the KMail developers
 although it is not KMail that is broken, but this policy.

Regards,
Michael Häckel
