  Two things I would like to see for the stable release are: 1)  Debian 
develop its own desktop designed for stable, and 2) remove buggy 
packages from the stable repo.  An examination of the stable repos over 
the past 15 years reveals that Debian has allowed a lot more 
non-functional software in the stable repo these days than it did 15 
years ago, and to the detriment of its users..  I expect software in the 
stable repo to be fully functional, and if not has a maint ainer who is 
willing to fix it.  If this doesn't apply then that software should stay 
in the testing, or unstable versions.

And with respect to developing Debian's own desktop, XFCE's latest 
contribution are disappointing to say the least, and there are 
shortcomings with a number of the other desktops.  Stability is 
increased if Debian has its own desktop.
