Debian 11 "Bullseye" To Begin Code Freeze In Early 2021

[a7v-user]

Bullseye: Package: gnome (1:3.30+2) -- https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/gnome
Sid: amd64 1:3.30+2 -- https://packages.debian.org/sid/gnome

That's just the meta-package (and the top one at that).
When I checked my rig(Debian Testing) I found that installed sub-packages (and actual programs) are mostly at version 3.34(47),
a couple were 3.36(7) even a couple at 3.28(6) or lower. I didn't even have the 'gnome' meta package installed.
That's not so ancient software for something that's going to become the next Debian Stable.

Debian's Gnome Team only update the packages if there is changed code included and meta packages are only version-bumped
when most the dependencies have been version-bumped. Saves on upgrade-spam which makes server-admins happier.

Yay! That's fantastic. I've been on current stable for 2 years on my server and hardware I have is much better handled with backports kernel and other firmware. Now it will be working perfectly out of the box with new stable
