But redhat is one of the big gnome developers, and gnome has included now epiphany and not galeon, which is, as you well know, a political statement and a choice in the lamentable galeon fork that happened last year. I don't think it would be wise for debian to do the same, debian being about choice, and not about forcing some decision on the user. Furthermore, if people are not happy with the feature set of galeon 1.3 vs galeon 1.2, it will be way worse for them if they choose epiphany, since it is the epiphany folk that have stripped galeon of all its feature back then before the fork. So please reconsider this. Sure i understand that aj has said cvs snapshots are for experimental, but as i understand his plans, this is mostly for cvs snapshot or potentially breaking stuff versions of libraries and other stuff which is dependended on. Like the new glibc should be first uploaded and fixed in experimental, so that all the packages build in unstable does not get blocked by it, altough you just do a rebuild. Galeon has nothing (or almost nothing maybe) depending on it, so this consideration does not apply. Friendly, Sven Luther
