Every new release, there is the same question: what for the next version ? And 
everytime, this is the same never-ending thread mixing trivial suggestion to 
upgrade foo-0.1.1.1.1 to foo-0.1.1.1.2beta and utopic request for being taken 
account by management. 

So i'd like to propose a small, limited, simple policy about HOW to discuss 
distribution evolutions.

First, simple package evolution. No need to ask, they have always been 
automatically upgraded. Don't worry, there will be foo-0.1.1.1.2beta as soon 
as it will be available.

Second, simple feature addition. A simple mail should be enough.
For instance, my own list for 9.2 was

Third, policy or functionning change. This is way more difficult to discuss, 
especially when appearing in a middle of a long, long thread. So i think 
those suggestion sould deserve their own thread, and use wiki as a way to 
offer a resume of the discussion once achieved, not for leading the 
discussion itself.
The discussion about the mirror structures we already had falls in this 
category:

WDYT ?
