Speaking as the wesnoth and xmoto maintainer, I've, in the past, asked
for wesnoth releases of this nature to be tagged into final to same
mirror space, but, again, it's not in the default spin
Wesnoth was annoying, but at least it is consistent as you seem to do
an update about once a month.
, and we now have
deltarpms (and a huge thank to to all responsible there), so I really
don't think it's that big of an issue.
As I said in another reply, there are currently no deltarpms for
wesnoth-data due to it's size.
