I would like to try to push Xfce 4.6.2 into lucid-updates, as lucid is (supposed to be) a LTS. The SRU procedure [0] is rather annoying, and requires testers. If a ppa containing Xfce 4.6.2 for lucid is created, everyone will start using it, and no one will ever test the packages in lucid-proposed and they won't make it into lucid-updates (I know, I made this mistake for hardy and xfce 4.4.3). So, could you wait for the SRU before creating the lucid ppa (karmic is fine)? Thanks.
