| The draft looks good, Sven. Please also include target # 5 as follows.
> Draft for a volatile.debian.org packaging and update policy.
>
> Target:
>
> volatile.debian.org (or short: v.d.o) is intended to be a repository for
> packages which degrade over time with respect to their usefulness. These
> include, but might not be limited to:
> 1) Virus scanners (clamav etc.)
> 2) Intrusion detection systems and security scanners (snort, nessus,
> etc.)
> 3) Anti-Spam software (spamassassin etc.)
> 4) Tools which are so closely related to a software in 1-3 that they
> might need to be updated when a new version of the related software
> is introduced to v.d.o
5) Architecture-independent data which depend on the contents of the
stable release itself.
