    Hello folks,
    my question is not critic but just learning purpose. Because in the Debian universe I always assume that there is a good reason behind each activity, no matter if I understand it or not.

    Here is one I don't understand.
    Today (9th December '22) pyfakefs 4.6.3 was migrated [1] into testing. But the latest stable release at upstream is 5.0.0 release two months ago [2].

    So why does a Debian package maintainer invest time and resources into packaging an out dated version of a package?

    The version that migrated to testing on 9 December was just a bug fix, see
    [3]. Version 4.6.3 was initially packaged on 12 September [4].
