=== SRU micro version update exception ===

 * Allow for an exception in [[StableReleaseUpdates|SRU]]s to the "patch must be as small and unintrusive as possible" requirement for specific packages that meet the criteria:
  * upstream supports micro-version updates to stable releases
  * upstream has a sufficiently high level of regression testing for their stable releases
  * regression tests are enabled in the package's build
 * The technical board will have the responsibility to maintain and review the list of packages that are exceptions to the SRU rule, as well as approve package additions.
  * Changes to the exception list must be brought to the TB via email. The request is expected to include justification against the above criteria.
  * Changes can be approved via any single TB member
 * Existing approved exceptions are:
  * firefox
  * mozilla-thunderbird, thunderbird
  * postgresql-8.1, postgresql-8.2		 /!\ This page is obsolete now. The current StableReleaseUpdates policy generally allows new upstream microreleases under certain conditions.
