AFAIK, the blocker for the release is not the RC bug count, but the missing infrastructure. And the second biggest problem for Debian, in my opinion, is that it can happen that we prepare for a release "real soon now" for half a year (first half of 2004), only to find that there is some infrastructure missing and that it takes more than half a year to fix this. While the fact itself is a big pain, the underlying reasons, the way communication and planning is done in the project, is the real big problem. Please note that I do not, and do not want to, blame any person or team for that. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
