For what I can remember off my head, that was about security support once Testing's frozen, not in the middle of changes. In my opinion it was trying to cover a defect with another one. People wanted security support on Testing because they were using Testing on production or production-like machines. They were using Testing on those environments because Stable was taking ages. So instead of trying to resolve the underlying problem (don't let Stable to take ages so Stable target-users won't use Testing instead and then Testing will be for what is meant: testing package integration and then won't be a pressure for security support). > ...

It's never a problem by itself: you just could go without the "colding" time between Unstable and Testing... which would mean passing through bugs faster too somehow undermining the very reason for the Unstable->Testing staging. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
