So just "new upstream versions" in general, but not Java?

Once you decided to merge or sync or update to a new upstream version
because you're interested in the package, what makes you go "no, I'll
better not do this one" when you check it?

One reason why I asked this question was that I was surprised about your
reaction [1] on one of Scott Kitterman's mails in this thread: you
thought about quitting Ubuntu development.

Even if there was a misunderstanding involved or there might be a
language barrier or whatever else provoked this, I'm a bit concerned
over how quickly you'd ponder leaving the team. Did you feel that
frustrated on your journey with the MOTU team before already?

Have a nice day,
 Daniel
