[1] at least I think so after a short look at the changelog - the entries look more like maintenance stuff. (Please correct me if I'm wrong - maybe I simply missed the "cool new features" section.) On the positive side, courier _is_ actively maintained, which makes it better than procmail ;-)
I again read this as "software that does not need changes for almost 10 years must be bad, only software that is in need of constant bugfixing can be good".
Yes, this is the openSUSE "policy" - for instance, it was one of the reasons given for dropping support for JFS. (at installation time).
JFS was different, IBM explicitly said, "we will not support this", so we dropped support for it as they were the ones providing it. And for a filesystem, support is essencial to resolve bugs that will come up, and to help handle issues with new kernel releases (remember, it is just a part of a larger system, the kernel). Procmail is stand-alone, using well-defined interfaces and standards that have not changed, and will not change. For procmail, what support do you need? Are you having problems with it? If so, file a bug and we will work to resolve them. And again, don't try to compare two totally different things here. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
