><i> As a Mageia user I would expect Mageia to package significant *bugfix
</I>><i> releases* and ship them in the updates for the stable distro.
</I>You'd rather read the current update policy, rather than expect blind
assertions:
<A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy</A>
><i> For example, it would be nice if an up-to-date Mageia 1 system had
</I>><i> Python 2.7.2 rather than Python 2.7.1 (not a deal-breaker, of course,
</I>><i> but nice). There's more than a hundred bug fixes between the two
</I>><i> versions and I don't expect Mageia to have independently fixed many of
</I>><i> these bugs.
</I>A bug may vary from a typo in a man page to a critical security update,
which make the number of claimed bugfix a poor decision metric. A
non-regression ensurance would be a better one, but it's quite difficult
to assert.
><i> If you think shipping bugfixes isn't part of the QA for a stable version
</I>><i> then I'm not sure what said QA should be (apart from updating Firefox
</I>><i> to new major versions that is :-)).
</I>Welcome to our new QA team volonteer :)
