Right. Right as well on "not many". Why is the new upstream version of
fetchmail or xisp only in unstable for example. This way one has to
follow unstable.
Maybe I don't understand the stable/unstable concept of debian, but I
don't see any reason why they don't go to stable.
If "normal" users should track stable, they don't get the new functions
until debian 1.4 ? Strange...

I already do recieve too many mails, so I hasitate in joining the devel
list.
My system is a mix of stable and unstable. I believe nearly anyone on
this list has at least one package from hamm. I can't keep record which
package is from what tree (<=> belongs to what ML).
I can follow only debian-user OR debian-devel (and I am quite happy with
the user list). So I post all my questions to debian-user. If no one on
user has a solution, I post a bug-report (like I did about the "libc6
locales and perl" error; unfortunatly no solution so far).
And the devel list is most likely more productive, if they don't have
to delete all my mails about stable packages.
I took a quick look at the ML archive and the topics discussed there don't
match my interest (so far).
Ciao,
Martin
