Well, I think it's really the same issue. The problem is one of
expectation: we have two similar components, GNOME and KDE, in the same
distribution, following different update polices - GNOME favours stable,
KDE favours adventurous. This confounds expectation.
This isn't solved by having two repositories. We'd still have a post on
this list asking for the new GNOME release to be built for F-10 and we'd
still have the GNOME maintainers say that they're not going to do that.
Yes, my problem is potentially almost solved with the tools at our
disposal and some little tweaks to interfaces, except for the problem
raised by Jesse, see my reply to his post. :)
Heh. I thought you were willing to accept that change when you talked
about using tags rather than a separate repo :-)
