I like the CCs because lately I haven't been able to keep up with the list and knowing that someone responded to something (which shows up in my mailbox and not the procmail filter) is useful. >This may be a mark that we or I don't think there is enough real problems >with Debian. Hm, perhaps the three month release schedule is one: we have >one month left for the next release, and we're just about to make a big >change in source packaging? Perhaps it would be better to wait an extra >month for this occasion only? I don't think we have a good mechanism for "code cleanups" before a major release. Instead, I think that sticking with "stable" releases from upstream is the way to keep Debian stable. I like the three month schedule, but feel it is mostly independent of maintainer issues. Though perhaps we should save the source package changes for the release after next month's? -- Christopher J.
