Bullshit! I'm a user! I'm also a DD. But unstable is what we run, so we try not to break it gratuitously. However, if you really feel that way, I'm willing to upload some totally broken builds of orbit2 to keep gnome2 from running. That'll keep users away! :) > By the time sarge releases we *will* have a transition between gnome > 1.4->gnome 2 (via Ximian and Red Hat); until then, things can remain > as they are. In the four years I've been running unstable, I've seen some minor breakage here and there, but it's always been accidental, and always fixed as soon as possible. I've never before seen someone seriously suggest introducing massive breakage _deliberately_, and frankly, I'm appalled to hear it now. Debian is _supposed_ to be about quality, about building a system _by_ users, _for_ users (of the people, by the people, for the people). And yes, that applies to unstable. If things cause breakage, they belong in experimental! Man, I am so glad you're not physically present here and now, because I am having an almost irrepressible urge to pound the face of someone who would say "unstable isn't for users". And I'm too old for that sort of violence.
