Well, I think nobody here argues that a program, if facing a hard decision, should throw an error rather than corrupt the system. I'm well aware, things that run fine on Python 3.4 can break horribly on Python 3.5 (or vice versa!), but this is why you'd explicitly say "python-3.*", or "python-3.4.*", depending on whichever variant you're least uncomfortable to try. > (Or, why do you think the Debian people take years to put together a release?) - Ubuntu are releasing every 6 months, using the same packaging infrastructure (although I'm not a fan of Ubuntu). - Debian has much bigger problems...

Many people run CURRENT, trunk, HEAD, 0.999-dev, sid, Arch, however you call it... (I don't, I like stable.) Suddenly they're all wrong? <3,K.
