But if enabling LFS means codepaths not well tested are used and bugs are discovered, it's bad and good at the same time. Bad because we see nasty bugs which make evolution crash, good because rarely used codepaths are now used more often and those bugs can be identified and fixed. Now, would you recommend enabling LFS in Debian stable? I'm wondering, especially since it's not enabled by default. Cheers, and thanks for your time. -- Yves-Alexis
