I would note that the seven-day waiting period exists as an imperfect proxy for exploratory regression testing, because we have no guaranteed committment from anyone to test the package after it's uploaded. The 7-day period is thus completely arbitrary, and the SRU team should consider waiving it in any case where we have assurance that sufficiently-broad testing has happened by some other means. Of course, waiving the 7-day waiting period is different than committing to release the SRUs on a more frequent schedule. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
