Hi,

just my two cents...

And if we think about Bruce's words:

this makes sense. I don't see anything wrong with this versioning scheme,
it's the same as before.

However, I feel a litle bit unconfortable with the way things are arranged
currently in FTP site: before, in the old 1.1 and 1.2 days it was very
easy to find what was changed, I just had to go to buzz-updates or
rex-updates and find there all the updated packages. Now, the bo-updates
directory has packages that are being tested but are not part of the
main distribution yet. When something is released it goes to bo (stable).
I don't know, it just that I don't feel confortable with that...
