The fix for that bug is not easy to backport as it's not just one SVN
revision but a few with interdependencies. At least IIRC, I looked at it
some time ago.

I would definitely love to see 1.2.3.1 in etch but I doubt it will be
possible as the diff between 1.2.2.1 and 1.2.3.1 is rather large and not
easy to review, not all changes are bugfixes but there are also other
improvements in different libraries.

We (the Mono team) decided that we won't upload 1.2.3.1 (or any other
new upstream versions of mono and related software) to unstable unless
it's guaranteed by the release team that it will go to etch... otherwise
it will cause some unnecessary trobule to get smaller fixes into etch
without going through unstable first...

Apart from that I don't know about a single regression from 1.2.2.1 to
1.2.3.1 until now, only general improvements.

Bye
