That came up in the link I provided in another post. http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-dev&m=117251925901310&w=2 IMHO I think it should be up to the package maintainer how close they want to follow upstream. With regard to development, progress, testing, qa, feedback. I think it's a very good thing, since it allows things to be caught before actual releases, during development. I know when I am developing stuff, it's way easier to address during the process rather than after the fact. But if there are any policies or etc. I surely do not want to be breaking them. Also this is not broken or really experimental stuff. If it was I would either p.mask, or put in an overlay. Although I feel things tend to get the greatest exposure and chance of user testing and feedback, if it's in tree. -- William L. Thomson Jr. Gentoo/Java
