Yes, this is absolutely true. Hopefully it won't remain true forever, but be that as it may: large updates should be being done in experimental first to make sure they work. If you're having problems getting the necessary support, talk to the DPL, and ask on -devel-announce for help. > That argument doesn't work if we need packages for all (or nearly all) > archs in experimental. [Especially as we need ~45 builds for > experimental, an update for one package would be a looot easier to do] You don't need to rebuild on all architectures for minor updates that won't break anything. You should have enough judgement to be able to tell when that is: the GNOME 2.4 -> 2.6 update isn't one of them, though. > It's not as if a GNOME 2.6 upload to unstable would be something weird, > it's what unstable is for.

OTOH, we know that GNOME 2.4 is OK. When you've done everything you can to ensure GNOME 2.6 is going to work fine, then it's time to put it in unstable and see if you're right. You have not yet done that. > Please also think about the Debian release cycle. Please don't be insulting.
