Yes and this is exactly why I asked if maintenance rules were not changed (and I did not catch that change somehow). The main reason why I have some packages in Contrib and not in Factory is because I don't want to take this level of responsibility for maintenance. I'm willing to provide the "best effort", but that's all from my side.
So if there are a plans to merge Contrib into Factory, maintainers should be very aware about that responsibility. And it's very curious to me, that noone thought about future maintenance, when they propose a merge.
The level of responsibility and strictness in Contrib is more or less the same as in Factory. As for the version updates in Contrib, the situation is that the version updates are not allowed (after the repository is frozen), unless explicitly allowed by the oS:11.X:C maintainers. As far as I understand, it is the same as in Factory (e.g. KDE 4.3.1->4.3.4 update). Petr -- Petr Uzel, openSUSE Boosters Team IRC: ptr_uzl @ freenode
