Hi All, I honestly do not understand what is going on here. Could somebody please explain at a "user" level the reasons for what is happening? I am not a coder/developer I am just the very satisfied user of 2 hppa boxes (C3700 & RP5470). I have found both boxes to be effective and reliable. The Debian installation process for both was _very_ easy (the RP5470 is headless!). The Debian update infrastructure supporting them has also been effective and reliable. I would like to continue using both boxes for as long as the hardware lets me (many years) but I am a little worried about where Debian is going with this.
