Followup on the earlier FVWM discussion.
- the FVWM is dual tracked. 2.4 is stable, 2.5 is development.
The latter clearly states that features can come and go without
warning.
- the Debian maintainer is a Really Experienced Developer Familiar
With The Software and thinks the developmental version is just
fine and how dare a lowly worm like me question His revealed wisdom?
Okay, I'm exaggerating the second item. (But there's still a
grain of truth in it.)
I know some people have been concerned about the quality of Debian
maintainers recently (esp. the security team). I thought this guy
was an old timer, but I may be mistaken. I would have expected
any old-timer to understand the need for separate fvwm2.4 and
fvwm2.5 packages, and that the primary version would be 2.4.
