We could easily make a note about it in the errata.
Hehe, i guess i will be able to test most of the lesser arches myself, except apus, and well, oldworld miboot will not work, and benh told me oldworld/bootx is currently broken, altough he hoped to have the fix in time for 2.6.15. > Given the major impact on ppc, is it an option for the kernel team to > upload 2.6.15 to experimental first, so we keep a little bit more room > for maneuvering towards the d-i release? Nope, we will upload the -rc kernels to experimental, but i don't think we should upload the actual released kernels to experimental, those should go into sid, and preferably the day of the release. That said, we have a few weeks, and working on the -rc tree in experimental should help sort out all issues, hopefully.
