Why would it ? The definition of "sid" is "still in development". Unstable means "be always ready to test something new". It doesn't mean that we shouldn't announce the fact that Gnome2 is going into unstable, but it means that the separate packaging is not necessary. If one doesn't want to test Gnome2, he shouldn't use sid, either he mark the gnome packages on hold or he switch back to testing. Doing either of these is not complicated and not painful. Even if he missed the G2D announcement, he can revert back to Gnome 1.4 with an apt-get "install gnome-core/testing ..." command line. > upgrade? Whether this means some kind of pinning hack, a seperate Yeah "pinning hack" is similar to what I explained just before. The choice exists and will always exist ...
