Huh? It's pretty fundamental to the way the entire system works... You _can't_ determine whether something is ready for testing/stable unless it's been tested by a wide audience -- which is what unstable is for. Of course, I think most people agree that you shouldn't put bug-ridden packages into unstable -- you're not going to learn much, and you'll probably do more harm than good (unless the old version is even _more_ bug-ridden :-) -- however there's clearly a lot of latitude for putting in packages which _seem_ to work well, but which you're not entirely sure about. As always, it's a judgement call, but so far DDs seem to have have done a good job. -Miles -- `The suburb is an obsolete and contradictory form of human settlement'
