JFTR: We hurried out 2.3.3 still before the freeze so that it could 
possibly make it into wheezy. Carrying a 4+ year old release that misses 
numerous security and stability fixes is kind of impractical.
So far there have been no regressions or new bugs found in 2.3.3 and it 
is a clean drop-in replacement for 2.3.2.
