Glad this is fixed upstream and in Gentoo! As far as slipping this |
| 17 |
into older, stable packages without a revbump, I strongly urge against |
| 18 |
this course of action. Worst case and since its perceived as a pain, |
| 19 |
just don't bother with stabilizing the older versions until there is |
| 20 |
another release, if ever. |

If you have questions about policy, this seems to be QA related, so |
| 23 |
ask one of the team. |
