What should our policy be with regard to adding, replacing, and updating packages under the debian-0.93 tree after the release?
Some suggest that it would be best to leave debian-0.93 alone after the release, and that instead of moving new and updated packages into debian-0.93, we should put them in a different (but easily-accessible) tree, such as debian-updates-0.93. The advantage of this approach is that it gives users access to both the "released" and completely up to date distributions. The disadvantage is that users would have to make a decision as to which of them to install. Others suggest that we should keep doing what we're doing now--that is, as packages are released, we should move them into debian-0.93. The advantage of this approach is that users are guaranteed to have all fixed and updated packages at the time they download the distribution. The disadvantage is that a release of Debian GNU/Linux becomes a constantly moving and shifting target instead of something tangible. Alot of people complain that this is a major problem with how we make releases. I'm interested in a discussion as to which alternative we should use.
