Thanks for your answer.
I will try for sure.
I perfectly understand the potential risk of making this policy less
strict, because of the work it would add to the teams and also to the
increase of requests it might lead to.

What we need, I think, is a set of criteria to follow to decide if a not
security related patch is necessary, with a reduced and clear set of
cases, like impossibility to use functions which should already be
present in the released version, to exclude the request of fully new
packages, which is not the goal.

We should try to discuss this in a status meeting, if possible.

With kind regards,
Alberto
