Proposal for Freeze Exception!'

Awesome 3.x packs many new features -and- is the current supported
version. We are currently offered a version that is so old it may be
trouble for even googlers to get help with it! The biggest reason is it
may be hurtful to keep the old one in there, as being on the older
version means documentation online is hopelessly incompatible.

The new features included in 3.x include more hooks (ways to configure)
and support for extensions like Wicked (widgets), Beautiful (theming)
functionality. It is more stable and popular than the 2.x series.

I believe that Jaunty should stay on the latest *stable* feature
release, which is 3.2.

http://packages.debian.org/uk/sid/awesome In Debian Unstable,
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/awesome/awesome_3.2-1.dsc
compiles and builds correctly. Furthermore, the ubuntu libraries in
jaunty support this release.

I would appreciate seeing the Debian Sid package sync'd into the
Universe. :D
