i think i knew this already. i guess i'm just idly musing on - whether the presence of a package in testing is an implicit 'ready for release' i.e. a positive vote or requires an indication from the packager that they think it's ready i.e. an explicit vote up, and am having difficulties seeing why the owner would vote down - unless they find more issues themselves.

unfortunately, i think i'm thinking too much about it! clearly atm the repository serves both roles and this is a good thing.

thanks for your insight.
