At least in debian, for stable updates it is only for very serious issues there are shipped updates in stable releases, among other things because 'non-changing' is also part of 'stability'. In many pieces of 'deployed software' you as a user or integrator or sysadm have deployed workarounds for known bugs, and fixing them might actually introduce new issues because of the workarounds. But this might also be primarily for 'server components' this is important. /Sune >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
