I don't disagree with any of that. What I mean to say is that if you hold all other package versions the same, krb5 upgrades are always safe - but we can't, as krb5, make guarantees about what any other packages do, especially our dependencies. The testing needs to happen when the distro is assembled - i.e., in the context of the distro, not beforehand. Thanks, --Robbie
