It's slotted and whatever older version will remain the default until |
| 14 |
uninstalled (so Christian said in a different subthread), so show upon |
| 15 |
installation should be good, he seems to believe. |
| 16 |
|

Also, showing it for earlier versions would display it now, well before |
| 18 |
it goes stable, and stable users who read it now may well have forgotten |
| 19 |
about it by the time they actually need it. Thus, setting it to apply |
| 20 |
only when they've actually installed it is useful. |

Hmm... I've not looked recently. Is there a mechanism to trigger news on |
| 23 |
keyword as well as version, so that it becomes visible for ~arch users as |
| 24 |
soon as it's available to install at ~arch, but only for stable users |
| 25 |
when it becomes available in stable? It seems such a thing might be |
| 26 |
useful, particularly if it checked package.keywords as well when that |
| 27 |
mechanism is triggered. |
