Right, I was being silly. Also, the word "experimental" adds more fear to the user than just "devel", which is good. Let me rephrase then. How about we accept MORE packages with LESS checks in Experimental, and have new maintainers forced in that repository, then if they are seen as responsive, we upload to SID? Could that be a sponsor's decision already right now, and be considered a good practice? Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
