Please include a URL, to ensure we are talking about same things. The newest announcement[1] do not promise "not to freeze this december", but just to "revisit the decision" and "consulting all key teams within Debian" regarding "a new timeline" - without clarifying if that means new compared to the earlier releases or new compared to the earlier announcement[2]. Please also note that the earlier announcement was targeted the general public, whereas the newer one was targeted developers only. So for the outside world their earlier announcement still stand.

Please provide a reference, I am quite interested in understanding this issue. Without knowing the details, I find it odd how that can be possible - within each Debian package is bound a logic of only preserving versioned build-dependencies until oldstable, which means I believe affects reliability of upgrades done from packages older than last stable release. >> The question here is not so much the upgrade path, because debian-edu >> doesn't support upgrades, we advice people to reinstall. > >Wrong. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Etch/Upgrades has >instructions how to upgrade. Thanks for the pointer. Steffen: Would be nice if you included some pointer to support your claim too.
