[[user:bruno|Bruno]]: The following sentence reads weirdly: "When creating an updates overview, there are some factors that need to be taken into account.

I don't have a specific wording change, but I think some mention of which people the criteria refer to would help. | [[user:bruno|Bruno]]: The following sentence reads weirdly: "When creating an updates overview, there are some factors that need to be taken into account.

Stable releases should provide a consistent user experience throughout the lifecycle, and only fix bugs and security issues. | |||
Note that this is an '''AND''' conditional while it should IMHO be an '''OR'''. What if an update fixes a bug or even security issue '''BUT''' changes the user experience? Are package maintainers supposed to backport every change? --[[User:Cwickert|Cwickert]] 17:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC) | |||
