Sorry to hijack an election thread like this but I have to clear a few things regarding -stable and -tesing in the cssu project.

am i right in assuming the stable hasn't been looked at in a long time and is kind'a the PR1.1?
whereas testing is PR1.2 or even PR1.3?
May I point you towards this wiki page?
Also -stable and -testing are both on top of PR1.3.1 with the difference being that -stable only contains packages that were already in -testing and have been considered perfectly stable for day to day use. Which I think is more than reasonable if you look at ke-recv in -testing for example.

Regarding your idea to create yet another flavour of cssu that only contains (security) fixes, we (the cssu dev team) want to improve the maemo5 platform via the cssu, we don't want to stop at fixing broken things.

Though as always with FOSS anybody is free to fork our work and create a fixes only flavour. I'm pretty sure said person would get support over in #maemo-ssu aswell.

Also we're always looking for help, anybody who feels like helping out in any way is more than welcome to show up in #maemo-ssu on freenode.
