Hi Eugen,
yes i know, but from SW-QM/QA/CM-view i cannot agree to freeze unstable for a stable 
release. but this is off-topic here.

Do we get 3.0.2 Release binaries for debian on snapshots server now, or do we want to 
have announced a release without any binary support for debian?

We will not get a broad user and QA-feedback base for 3.0.2 if users must go through the non-complex 
build processes themselves to get binaries and this could bring up a heap of extra annoying bug reports 
from wrong build configurations and CM-inconsistent user environments again.
