That is what I think, David should have the chance to say anything to it.

Backend patches shall be sent directly to the backend author - as long as there
is someone who is working on it.
I think it is good if everyone is informad about changes in all backend relevant
changes (like in the sanei_* routines).
May be we should make an ftp site for such patches.
Normally we would need ONE person that takes care about these routines.
I don`t like that everyone can make changes to these routines and there is
nobody who looks at these changes. This is very bad because it can break
every backend because all backends depends on these routines.
So before we do apply any changes to a new release we should at least
take a close look to all changes and make a VERY INTENSIVE TEST PHASE
to make sure the changes do work on almost all systems.

I think for this a sane-devel-CVS would be the first testing place.
I know we talked about a sane-devel-CVS and a sane-sable-CVS,
do we have both?
