You are joking, are you not ?
Woody is stable, that is it contains exactly what was released at the
time of its release (but then, i asked for inclusion of ocaml 3.04-14 in
the next point release, instead of 3.04-12).
New package are developped for the current in developpment version of
debian (sarge), and the fact that we rebuild them for woody is just an
additional service that we provide to our users.
I find it bad from you to suggest us to do something which would be more
work, if you don't want yourself to commit to help in this.

What are you talking about, we have the packages in sid/sarge, what do
you want more ? using the experimental repository is something _I_ would
not do, since it can be more of a pain than any help it can provides
(try installing the gnome2 packages from experimental if you want to
know why, and then when you upgrade, wonder why you get some broken
packages along the way). I may provide CVS snapshots ocaml packages in
some time, but it will be in unstable, same as galeon-snapshot or
mozilla snapshot. Why do we want something externally to that, and what
benefit would it bring to us, i don't really know.
