There is clearly more than one way to approach this. I think the key is to get everybody to do it the same way. I do agree that it is overkill to track EVERY bug through to stable. However, I can see the value in tracking some bugs through to stable. The question is how do we tell which are which, and ensure the ones that need to be tracked are actually updated when the package is stabilized? It might be better to just close the original bug, and then open a new STABLEREQ bug on the tracker whenever we're interested in tracking stabilization. That also serves as a reminder to the maintainer that somebody actually wants it stabilized. -- Rich
