Since then bikesheds keep being mentioned every now and then for handling fast-moving software; e.g. https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/01/msg00696.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/03/msg00363.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/04/msg00059.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2018/10/msg00072.html Cheers, gregor [0] "Aggressive Backport: This is the "dotdeb.org" scenario.
