Wheezy is supported by the security team for at least 3 years, so on
one hand a slightly newer version doesn't buy much and on the other
hand the support burden is hard.  If the version currently in testing
is unsupportable or there are any smallish patches that would make it
easier to support, please don't hesitate to let the release team know.

Thanks for your work,
Jonathan
