+</I>&gt;<i> No, I disagree. The policy as written is dumb in my opinion.

+I wouldn't say it is dumb, I would say it is conservative.
+
+Can you off-hand provide a list of which of our ~10 000 packages have a
+'maintained bugfix only branch with regular releases' policy?
+
+I would expect it is less than 5%. Granted, this may include a number of
+large/important packages. But, I can also post some counter-examples:
+-samba (but, it may be useful to have some not-strictly-bugfix changes, as
+some are 'compatability with the new SP of some other popular OS')
+-openldap
+
+&gt;<i> If you publish a policy, and the policy is incorrect, the whole
+</I>&gt;<i> process of using policies is worthless. So I /have/ to assume that the
+</I>&gt;<i> policy reflects the decisions/conclusions from the discussions by
+</I>&gt;<i> people running the project.
+</I>
+I think some of the existing policies may have been done in haste. IMHO, there
+should be a policy on policies, covering how they are agreed upon, how
+amendments are agreed up etc.
+
+&gt;<i> To me it stays a silly/stupid policy.
+</I>
+Please provide a proposal for changes to the policy.
+
+Regards,
+Buchan
