"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".
Hm.. Camaléon used the ‘interro-negative’ form: ‘shouldn't’..
Quite different from an affirmative ‘should’..
Take for instance:
‘Shouldn't we ban OT'ers and nitpickers from the list?’¹
