Hi,
I'm Pedram (Tsu). Please don't be offended by a rational and POLITE
criticism! Otherwise you would make any criticism impossible.
I use Debian Testing (with some packages from Unstable) for more that 6
years. It has been stable, secure and fairly up-to-date. Those, who want
to maintain/test/have new software, go to Unstable and those, who don't
want frequent updates or want to run a server, go to Stable. In short,
Debian Testing has never been for testing NEW SOFTWARE but for testing
already tested software against the strict Debian standards for Stable.
As for maintainers that don't use Debian (NOT all maintainers, of
course), I've seen signs of that but will be really glad if I'm wrong.
I ask again: If you knew that KF5 wasn't ready for use (and I could
write several lines why it isn't), why did you uploaded it from Unstable
to Testing? This is a rational question, not a means to offend anyone.
You don't have to answer it if that was just a mistake because mistakes
happen. I'm just worried about their becoming more that exceptions.
