Well, the main difference I see is, that there are still no security updates for sarge/testing. For the user it's irrelevant if the security updates was built by a person or an autobuilder. But I think you're right... it's not about getting work done, it's about politics and a orwellian "all users are equal, DDs are more equal" nonsense. With every day passing by, it seems even more clearly to me that Debian has lost its basics and has turned into a project that prefer to deal with itself for that reason. And now it's even controlled by a venture capitalist. Great job, well done... :-( -- Ciao... // Ingo \X/
