One more reason for not having gnome2 in experimental, i guess a lot of people will just do an : apt-get -t experimental dist-upgrade or something such, as i almost did (to see if it would work, but i interrupted it when i saw non gnome stuff going to be installed). BTW, what was the reason why we choosed to use experimental and not a separate staging area ? Friendly, Sven Luther
