Hello fellow developers, |

CUPS 1.3 has been in the tree for quite some time now and has matured |
| 4 |
to a degree where it should be ready to go stable. We've no open CUPS |
| 5 |
bugs for 1.3 anymore. Also maintaining CUPS 1.2 will be even harder as |
| 6 |
time goes by since there's nearly no month passing without a new CVE |
| 7 |
affecting CUPS and we have to plug the holes with patches. |

KDE 3.5.9 will go stable any time soon and I'd like to have CUPS |
| 10 |
stabilised along with it since an upgrade from CUPS 1.2 to 1.3 would |
| 11 |
mean an additional rebuild of kdelibs. An ewarn message has already |
| 12 |
been added to the ebuild to notify our users to run etc-update and |
| 13 |
revdep-rebuild after upgrading from CUPS 1.2 since this is very |
| 14 |
important. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If there's anything I might oversee please speak up. |
