Yes, but if that's the case, why no kde 3.4, gnome 2.10 or xorg in experimental then? By the time sarge releases it will already be six months, if not longer, outdated. That doesn't bode well. I find some of the posts from others on these lists (including developers) downright offensive and arrogant. It's the same old "fuck you, piss off we don't care" attitude and it's not going to win Debian any friends. If developers cease to listen to their users, they will find that their users move on to greener pastures. I did so quite some time ago, both Ubuntu, Kanotix and Libranet kick Debian's ass all over the place, why use Debian? This is what many are contemplating. Sorry to sound rude, but i'm finding it's necessary to become blunt with thick or uncaring developers. > Hope this clears up things a bit. Not really, it makes excuses, nothing more and nothing less.
