Will be released End of September already. So the release is "just" ~ one month to go, it's beta and the first rc is ~ 2 weeks away so it's (hopefully) not that bug in development anymore. I wondered about this upload, and don't necessarily like it either - but I can see the point in getting it tested early. And be realistic: real-life testing doesn't happen in experimental but unstable and if it gets released and uploaded to unstable it might be too late and will cause more disruption. > It is important to note that this made all the extensions available for > the current stable version of Gnome Shell to not > work with SID. So be it. This is sid. (If it breaks Debian-packaged extensions, it should add Breaks or so, they need to be updated anyway if 2.22 was released and uploaded.) Regards, Rene
