| 1) How do you feel when you receive an early version bump request? |

It's generally fine with me; though I would handle it differently |
| 11 |
depending upon the situation. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
For example, sometimes these version bumps require some researching or |
| 14 |
testing for some fix or feature, and I really like to test or check out |
| 15 |
that first by myself, in such a cases, it could take a while for me to |
| 16 |
version bump and I also try to keep the user informed about it through |
| 17 |
the bug report (it has worked fine for me so far). If it is a straight |
| 18 |
bump with minimal changes, I could take care of it immediately , in |
| 19 |
either cases, I don't care the user filing an early request ... as long |
| 20 |
as they don't care how long it might take for me to get it into portage :-) |
| 21 |

| 2) If you had your way, would you discourage users from filing early |
| 23 |
| version bump requests? |
| 24 |
| |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
No. It's fine with me. |

| I know, it's not a particularly good survey, but I hope the plenty and |
| 31 |
| diversity of your answers will shed more light on the matter. :) |

| [1] In fact I regularly use the opportunity to check on the HOMEPAGE |
| 39 |
| whether the release was security related, and I assign directly to |
| 40 |
| security@ when that is the case (CC'ing the package's maintainers) and |
| 41 |
| perhaps pasting ChangeLog or advisory info in a comment. |
