I'd like to add something else. The Developers' reference gives recommendations to developers, it is not binding. If you think that a RC bug needs to be fixed with a 0-day NMU, you are still free to ignore the recommendation and proceed with your 0-day NMU. However, in the general case, I don't think that we should *recommend* 0-day NMUs. I feel that using 0-day NMUs when a 2-day NMU would be enough is a way to punish the maintainers for the frustration they are causing by not replying to bugs as fast as one would like. NMUs are already a difficult process on the social level, and I would like us to avoid making it worse without any clear improvement of Debian's quality. - Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
