That's the general impression. I have also the impression that many people assume that minor patches are ALWAYS much less dangerous than big changes which is bluntly wrong and quite often the worst case happens (remember OpenSSL). Some problems are better solved by a bigger rewrite (by someone having a clue) and this is the case here. > There's no release critical bug reported against the version in > lenny.

You propose to Okay, simple question: how many RC bugs do you need to allow the push of the Unstable version at the moment? I have one RC candidate (#506273), lots of non-BTS user feedback to bugs in older version, and I got NO user problem reports for the new version in the last weeks. I see nothing to justify your risk concerns.
