Depends. I would not have a problem with e.g. getting in a minor GNOME release, as long as it has been properley tested. For example, if 2.4.2 were to to in Sarge, but someone packaged a 2.4.3 bugfixing release after Sarge hits stable, it really should go in 3.1 r1. -- Martin-Éric Racine, ICT Consultant http://www.pp.fishpool.fi/~q-funk/
