E.g. before release of Python 3.3.0 I had tested about 200 packages against snapshots of Python 3.3 found in an overlay. Besides founding problems in about 10% of packages, I also found some regressions in Python 3.3 [2], which were later fixed before final release of Python 3.3.0. > In this case all should have stopped at a) since libreoffice-bin has a > =49* dep, for obvious reasons. > > Since there was no hurry of security issues to get icu-50 in, I don't > see why this was all forced through -50_rc without giving time to the > _one_ package that was using an older version to update. Maintainers of app-office/libreoffice-bin always build it against stable versions of its dependencies, so maintainers of app-office/libreoffice-bin can be asked to build it against ICU 50 after stabilization of ICU 50.
