Re: New policies?

Hello all!

First of all thanks for the fast reply. Of course I know, this is a user list,
but I think, there are also a lot of developers here.

Well, what I wanted to express is this (and please apologize my direct words):

Debian policy breaks the sense of "stable", because of its own policy it is
forbidden to correct broken (and/or obsolete) protocols, applications whatever
with running versions until the next release. And THAT is IMO the wrong way.

So my suggestion is, to think things over (as the world since the foundation
of debian), and allow exceptions (not only at security issues).

Besides: I like the idea of Erin, merging (and not overwrite) of configuration
files is IMO the better way.


Best regards

Hans-J. Ullrich
