Personally, I really hope that's not the case. Bugs against ftp.debian.org are often important - these ones are holding up slink's release (granted, they're not the only things holding it up). It would be upsetting to think that our ftp.debian.org maintainer team was choosing to spite the whole distribution because some developers were whining. It is also always upsetting to see an 'ad hominem' answer to an important question - however the original question was couched. So, could I (respectfully) ask someone on the ftp.debian.org team to explain the delay? If the problem is time constraints on the individuals concerned - which is something we can all have sympathy for - then perhaps the team would like to ask for volunteers to help with the spade-work.
