+Thanks.
+
+&gt;<i> &gt; For example, it would be nice if an up-to-date Mageia 1 system had
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Python 2.7.2 rather than Python 2.7.1 (not a deal-breaker, of course,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; but nice). There's more than a hundred bug fixes between the two
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; versions and I don't expect Mageia to have independently fixed many of
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; these bugs.
+</I>&gt;<i> A bug may vary from a typo in a man page to a critical security update,
+</I>&gt;<i> which make the number of claimed bugfix a poor decision metric. A
+</I>&gt;<i> non-regression ensurance would be a better one, but it's quite difficult
+</I>&gt;<i> to assert.
+</I>
+As both an user and an upstream developer, I would not expect a Mageia
+packager to know better than the upstream developers what can
+constitute a regression, and what is a good compromise to fix or not.
+At least for well-maintained upstream projects, that is :-)
+
+&gt;<i> Welcome to our new QA team volonteer :)
+</I>
+Agreed that my advice would be more constructive if I got involved, but
+I don't have the time for that.
+
+Regards
+
+Antoine.
