I do definitely agree with the spirit of this. I don't have a firm inclination in this direction only because it seems like it might just be too much to hope for, finding time to make the releases. Also, who would use it? The real question is whether enough people would use it to make it worth the bother. I see WIP packages coming across in Sid all the time, so theoretically Debian could pick it up for Sid or Experimental, and other distros could follow suit, but how many potential Rosegarden users are actually running these bleeding edge distros anyway? I have no idea. -- D.
