Bernd, I (with my DD or upstream developer hat on) understand your sentiment. But I also (with my consultant or end-user hat on) find it impossible to implement. If I was running a large scale IT environment (say 1000+ users) then I would assign an increasing portion of the help-desk people to run testing as the release became closer and I would allow some of the user-base to run testing when the release was really close. Then after the release I would slowly increase the number of people running the new release so that bugs could be identified and fixed. If a bug hit the 1% of the user-base who were most adventurous and demanding of new versions then it wouldn't be so bad. But however I'm not running a large IT environment and I don't have the resources for such things. Sometimes I do the upgrade after the release and just have to deal with some bugs. That said my results from upgrading to Lenny have been a lot more positive than Michelle reported. -- russ...@coker.com.au http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Main Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
