"Should"???

It would be *nice* and it would be *helpful* to do so, but seeing that
neither you nor I are paying him for the time, effort, bandwidth, etc,
those who still use oldstable should just be glad that he's doing it.

I think you misunderstood my words... or maybe I didn't chose the right
ones.

I wasn't saying that they *should* provide _packages_ for oldstable
releases but *notify* here -in this same mailing list, where people can
then spread those changes elsewhere- for any update in D-M repositories.


Yes, it would be nice and useful.

However, the word "should" in English expresses (in gcide's words) "moral obligation", and Christian Marillat is under no moral obligation to do so. Merriam-Webster uses the similar phrase "express obligation, propriety, or expediency".
