Magnus noticed the discussion when it was still on the maintenance mailing list, and we started considering the option of doing the same for GNOME. A good candidate would be GNOME 2.28.2, which is due next week.
It would certainly fix many bugs that are reported in bugzilla as of today. Of course, doing this will take some time (we need to update the packages, and then test all that), so it wouldn't happen before at least a few weeks.
How do people feel about this?
Being from a place where the internet connectivity is slow and limited, I will wish for smaller maintenance updates. So a -1 from me.
I'd say that we flag these updates as optional, which, in theory, should mean that they wont come down automatically?
However, if there are many (how many) bugs fixed because of such an update, we can go for it and my "-1" is not so strong.
I would not be in a position to tell you how many bug fixes there have been, but in theory, the GNOME team and its users would really benefit from this update. Handling bug reports for each individual bug, instead of following upstream, takes a great amount of time, which means that there is less time getting all the latest and greatest into Factory where people can start testing it.
