Not at all; the latter only affects my being asked about it. stable isn't touched outside point release weekends AFAICT. > I seem to recall that in some cases packages get made available to > people installing updates before the point release happened? Packages are available in stable-proposed-updates for those who have enabled it: https://www.debian.org/releases/proposed-updates.html (This is opt-in.) Packages that need being installed right away can be made available in stable-updates in addition. Those are subject to SUAs, see: https://lists.debian.org/debian-stable-announce/ (This is enabled by default in d-i.)
