I disagree. I think having too many versions of a package just makes difficult to get things done: - it increases the amount of maintainence work; - has a bigger time to get bugs spoted; Users of old distros ought to use a specific repository and branch. Master ought to be kept clean for 'next distro release'. My 2c. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
