+It's not getting ridiculous. This is _VERSION_FREEZE_.
+It's normal during distro release process.
+
+If it wasn't important enough to import/update before the freeze, it's 
+definately not important enough after.
+
+And technically _any_ new package can make a mess up a system with
+wrong provides/obsoletes/conflicts, broken %pre/%post scripts and so on.
+
+And if we start going letting things slide we get the debate "that 
+package got in, so why not this..."
+
+So, focus now is not to get new stuff into repos, but testing/fixing 
+bugs reported on bugzilla, and also test upgrades from Mageia 1 and so on.
+
+We have only ~1,5 months before the planned Mageia 2 release.
