"Also though, the updates are much more infrequent, especially icedove. which
last I checked is still at 38.8 on trisquel 7."
This is what I don't get. I get that processing Ubuntu to flush out unfree
software is labor intensive. I get that the transition from GNOME Fallback
to MATE is an extra effort beyond the usual update. So I get how Trisquel 8
development has been throttled due to shortage of available man-hours, with
Quidam having a full time job, and some but not enough other volunteer coders
and testers.
What I don't get is why programs, especially apps such as Icedove, that are
already known to be libre aren't automatically updated in the Trisquel
repositories. Why isn't that a "push" process?
