retitle 501616 axiom: new upstream version available
severity 501616 wishlist

thanks


The original submitter gave a non-transportable email address, making 
the submitter field useless on this bug report. Re-setting submitter 
to Debian QA.

There is nothing in the bug description that indicates it “renders the 
package unusable”; new upstream versions do not necessarily render old 
versions any less usable. Please don't abuse the severity meanings 
like this.

This is an entirely different argument from “renders the package 
unusable”. If you think there is reason this package should be 
removed, please give *specific* reference to what exactly makes this 
package not releasable, not just “all the changelogs and 
releasenotes”.

Until compelling argument is given to remove this package, and until 
the original submitter comes forward with a transportable email 
address, please leave this bug at severity “wishlist”.
