Hi, After talking with Salvatore and Guido, we plan to discuss about the no-dsa meaning for oldstable during BoF tomorrow. One of the reasons for tagging no-dsa minor issues is to handle them via point-releases. Since we don't have this in LTS, "minor" issues like those in binutils and co, should be handled/fixed earlier in oldstable. So, if we have safe fixes, there is no reason to don't release them. Of course, everything is issue-specific. Cheers, Santiago
