The point of the 'no changes to non-leaf packages' notion is that such changes trigger a rebuild of many packages in bulk builds, and these builds are what tells us what's wrong and what needs to be fixed. So without a low-churn situation, it's hard to ensure overall quality, even if the churn-causing updates are themselves 100% correct. (And are you sure 4.1 is ok (and builds on all platforms where the previous builds, more or less), and users are better served with it vs the previous? That depends on a lot of things not immediately apparent to people not really familiar with py-postgresql, but it sounds like you are perhaps the one of us who is familiar). > Would it be a good idea to add a quick note, possibly as a news item, > when we enter the freeze?
