This is a seriously leaf type of package that had a version bump week after beta freeze. By "seriously leaf" I mean[[BR]]
- Nothing in the distro depends on it and its well outside the critical path.[[BR]]
- No scripts or triggers.[[BR]]
- No significant changes to package contents (binary names, permissions, ownership, adding or deleting stuff in system-wide important locations that wasn't/was there before)[[BR]]

Tangent: All these criteria seem to be auto-testable. Perhaps rel-eng should consider auto-promotion from candidate to dist/stable/updates for these specific types of packages. There is a risk of impact on out of tree users or on unaccounted for in-distro deps, but no more than with the usual update path with which such updates are currenly handled. It seems like a reasonable place to put some more trust in the developers judgement.
