What S. Schmidt said is the perfect example of what I do not like to see: "it would be great, if I could use it to provide patched versions any just any package" I understand Lukas point of view quit well. He is sane enough to apply the patch exception for (nearly) only bugs. But what you propose is: Hey guys, let patches, forks, whatever you want to do, any times you do not like something or want something. And this is scary.
but this is exactly what will happen today .. or what is happening today. this solution gives you the possibility to make a temporary fork that is clearly marked as such until a general solution is found and the maintainer has found the time to make another release. regards, Lukas
