I think it’s fine to push simple changes directly. There hasn’t been a single instance when you pushed something where I thought that it shouldn’t have been pushed. Between releases we are free to change things; they only have to be mentioned in the ChangeLog for the next release. ABI breakage can get a little annoying if one doesn’t know about it and the compilation fails with unclear errors. It’s a little unfortunate that packages are developed together with everything else, because this means that there is no way for people to opt out of breaking changes until the next release without also opting out of getting any updates at all. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
