Replying to [comment:2 Krejzi]:
> In GNOME 3.4, not all packages were able to use gmime-2.6, so I decided
to keep 2.4.
Okay, sounds reasonable.
> I'll upgrade it when I upgrade GNOME. Also, I must ask you not to report
for anything that is related from GNOME. I will handle all of them when I
upgrade GNOME. <snip> This will also include glib, pango, gtk+ and such.
If GNOME is the only thing that uses a package, I agree with you. However,
for GLib, GTK+ and other things that are used by a wide variety of
packages, I think we should identify new point releases. A single point
release is always compatible (perhaps an exception every once in a while,
but rare), and provides security updates among other things. Let's discuss
on -dev.
