I like this proposal. But I'd list the difference as: this is more automated, mine is more maintainer-driven. More automated usually means less control, but this case leaves enought control. The problem with this ``much simpler'' approach is that it is in fact ``much more complex'' implementation-wise; it requires: - the promotion automation program - fixing the BTS to tie bugs to versions (so that the program can know that the bug is on the ``unstable'' version, not on the one in ``testing'') It requires more code. If this code was around, _and_ if we can still have multiple versions of a same package in unstable which I think is a good idea anyway, then I'd be glad to vote for this one.
