This is an upstream update anyway.

So being an ansible user mayself I strongly recommend to rather use upstream release 2.4.1.0 which fixes some issues found in 2.4.0.0.

Would you then either approve, reject, supersede or submit updates to the stable distributions pro-actively?


Michael Ströder's avatar

I'm not the one who decides on this.

But I'd support it because given the fast pace of ansible releases with important security and functional fixes it's a very bad idea to fall behind. Back-porting security fixes would be a pain and nobody relying on ansible would want to use such a patched ansible package anyway.

Actually you are? You are the maintainer.
