Hi!

As I understand stable releases get only security updates. After reading
these (see links below) and this (
http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17562) I have a strong feeling
that few exceptions should be allowed.

I also believe that stable release update policy should be revised. For
example what happens if dapper ships with broken xorg (bug that disables
mouse)?

What I propose is:
If there is a bug that affects everyone using given package/tool/config
file/hardware and
if there is a clean solution that fixes the bug for everyone
allow update of non-security related bugfix.

And please, update pmount for breezy. I have these nightmarish visions of
moms and avarage joes rushing to enable dapper repositories and edit fstab
:)
