(you can always > build Frameworks locally if you need the fixes now) For (non-rolling) distributions that update packages on patch releases but not on minor releases it would make a difference if there where patch releases of Frameworks. Not all distributions can follow and backport important fixes in Frameworks. At worst, users will have to suffer a bug in Frameworks until the next LTS release. Regards, Ingo
