Hi Andreas, it is a mixture of: - Keeping a simple way to send fixes to Lenny if necessary (going through Unstable is preferred compared to testing-proposed-updates). This said, I do not expect upstream patches for EMBOSS 5. - Keeping a bit of time for the udate of the EMBASSY packages, that are built against EMBOSS 5. - Being able to upload quiclky to NEW without havin to think too much about the above two points. But your point is right, and I habe nothing against uploading to unstable after having checked that EMBOSS 6 works well the packages that depend or enhance it.
