Sometimes, they do, and except during this last stage of the freeze, it's not been particularly hard to get bug fixes into wheezy. As I have written elsewhere, I've had unblock requests go through less than five minutes after I filed the request. It's a little bit of extra book-keeping, sure, but it's not very onerous. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
