This may come as a deep shock to you, but your personal opinions on how Debian can best serve its users and free software are not shared by everyone else in the project. It is revealing that you ascribe differences of opinion to failures of people who disagree with you to abide by the Debian Social Contract. > You still fail to see the point.

I suggest you have a talk with the Release Manager, then. It's his call to say "no new upstream versions" when we're in a freeze. You may also want to speak with the Stable Release Manager and determine under what circumstances he would allow a new upstream version of XFree86 into a point release of Debian 3.0. > And, please, next time when you make a bad comparison, find an example > that is less ridiculous.

Is Knoppix's XFree86 4.2.1 faster at loading the UTF-8 fonts than Debian's XFree86 4.2.1 is? If so, I detect an opportunity for someone to create a patch and file a wishlist bug. Alternatively, you can eschew the collaborative process altogether, switch to Knoppix exclusively, and tell everyone who'll listen to you to do the same. -- G.
