I tend to disagree; it is still helpful for users of stable distros to help out with testing new versions. Having a little bit better backwards compatibility generally helps. This is a trade-off though, and we could use a generic discussion about how long we should keep it though. My gut feeling is that it would be okay to move forward to mandatory depend on something that has a stable release about one to two years ago or so, but to determine this on a case-by-case basis.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
