I suppose it really isn't my place to say this, but would it not be possible to fix a few of the cosmetic bugs while we are waiting? A few that come to mind are the Pacific/Pacific-New conflict in timezone, which is going to chalk up 1 bug in the minds of everyone on the west coast of the US who installs or upgrades Debian. Secondly, although a bit less common, is the fact that we have an rxvt that has xpm's by default, instead of the newer rxvt and rxvt-xpm. I could see plenty of users asking themselves why their Debian has slowed down under X with the upgrade to 1.3. These are two I have encountered myself, but I suppose there may be others. Thinking about the idea that 'we can't change anything because it might create new bugs', I ask when these necessary changes will be introduced - 1.3.1? In which case, that should be the release burned onto CD's, as it is stable, *and* has the wrinkles smoothed out. Is this the plan? Once again, pardon my ignorance - I think it's obvious I'm fairly new to all this, but I'm anxious to learn, and to see Debian succeed.
