There are many packages in the tree that are "beta" or a ISO date, or |
| 8 |
something else ... that are marked stable. If we've tested a "beta" and |
| 9 |
it seems to work OK, we mark it ~arch. Then after a while if there are no |
| 10 |
open bugs, we mark it stable. Who cares what the version number is? |

As Linus says, it's just a number! |

It's the package maintainer's job to do his/her own testing, then bring the |
| 15 |
packages out for ~arch testing. That is what Caleb has done. The object |
| 16 |
now is to find the bugs Caleb didn't see during his testing so that they |
| 17 |
can be fixed and resolved before they get marked stable. |
