I wanted to ask: why did botan get updated to using the development

1.8.5 to 1.9.3 back in November. I am all for keeping packages
up-to-date, but i am not sure that i agree with hopping to the
development branch. I don't follow the botan mailing list at all, but
the stable branch is still worked on (now up to 1.8.8). If nothing
requires 1.9.x, would it do any harm to revert botan to 1.8.x?
No one notice us of this before.
Someone flagged it as out-of-date and I, stupid, updated it without look at
upstream site where they say that botan 1.9.x is the development trunk.
I am looking if this will broke anything, otherwise I will proceed downgrading
botan to 1.8.8.
afaik only two packages needs that. +1 for downgrading and rebuilding
monotone against it.
