Hi,
I run ion3 on Sarge and would like to upgrade to a more recent release
(development snapshot or not) when Etch is released. Tuomo, the author
of IonWM and the original bugreport, is probably correct in his assement
of the flaws of megafreeze distributions[1] (like Debian), but I'm happy
with Debian's implimentation of such, and I prefer that you not break
Debian's release model by not distributing ion3 in Etch.

If ion3 passes the technical, legal, and other tests Debian policy
requires for the benefit of it's users, ion3 should be, I belive, in
Etch. I'm upset you're removing it because you talked to a very small
subset of the Debian and IonWM using communities, and they didn't
``demand'' it in Etch or future stable releases.
Please reconsider your decision to remove ion3 from Etch.
Thank you,
-Dave
