Fine point.

And it just makes Debian's modus-operandi look yet better.  They
would have given up XF3.2 just because it haven't been testted enough
(as I posted a few days ago, they moved the deadline for 1.2 because
they decided that XF3.2 is essential, but they want to try to test it
thoroughly before they release 1.2).

Not that Debian don't have flows, but I don't think the percentage of
packages touched since 1.1 reaches as high as a few tens of percents,
like Ira is reporting with RH.

Does this make you think?
