I second this. As a member of Mercurial crew I can say that the 0.9.3 version had much better QA than 0.9.1 due to the introduction of a stable branch for its release. As a Debian user since potato I prefer fixed bugs over new features and can say that the 0.9.3 package has more bugs fixed than it has new features :) There have been 71 patches in the stable branch since the release of 0.9.3 about three months ago, most of them only fix compatibility issues on systems other than Linux, fix documentation or similar cosmetic issues, or add better error handling for network connections. But very few of these patches might be worth being included, like one change fixing a merging edge case and another fixing the removal of a backup file. Would a 0.9.4 release with not a single added feature above 0.9.3 have a chance to be included in etch?
