6 No expectation of that happening. I'm thinking more along the lines of
7 each baseline tracking the stable releases of packages, ceasing to be
8 updated when those packages have their final releases.

10 Eg, baseline 2003.4 might have been tracking Gimp 1.2 when it was
11 current, therefore it will never go to Gimp 1.3 or Gimp 1.4, only to
12 the very last release of Gimp 1.2.
