• Proposal for Debian Road Map

    From Bug Report@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 7 22:30:02 2024
    This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
     Two things I would like to see for the stable release are: 1)  Debian develop its own desktop designed for stable, and 2) remove buggy
    packages from the stable repo.  An examination of the stable repos over
    the past 15 years reveals that Debian has allowed a lot more
    non-functional software in the stable repo these days than it did 15
    years ago, and to the detriment of its users..  I expect software in the stable repo to be fully functional, and if not has a maint ainer who is
    willing to fix it.  If this doesn't apply then that software should stay
    in the testing, or unstable versions.

    And with respect to developing Debian's own desktop, XFCE's latest
    contribution are disappointing to say the least, and there are
    shortcomings with a number of the other desktops.  Stability is
    increased if Debian has its own desktop.
