RE: RE: Time To Create Debian's Desktop Branch?

XFree86 is not referred to as experimental. The unstable XFree86 4.3.0 packages are currently in the experimental branch since they're still being tested. Clearly it's taking a while for 4.3 to get in to sid, but if you really need to use 4.3.0 instead of 4.2.1, there are plenty of unofficial package repositories you can use (http://www.apt-get.org), and the same goes for most popular software held back by testing/bugs etc. in testing/unstable.
