I believe your address is wrong. This is neither about the release team, nor the kernel team. As for the kernel team, the message they sent you over a year ago should be pretty clear (and it wasn't the first one AFAIK): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573189#31 They way I read that message, it has: 1) a requirement that aufs2 is going to be updated to work with upstream kernel releases 2) no promise that the kernel team will do this work, or even aid it 3) no promise about this support continuing forever (more than a year might be considered more than "a while" by many) 4) absolutely no promise that "a while" will last until wheezy is released 5) a polite request that you do whatever you can to aid in development of union mounts Did you read something else? In the mean time, we've seen dicussions like this one: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/23/72 where the fact that Debian includes aufs2 is abused as an argument against union mounts! Where were you in that discussion? Ben did what he could, but I wouldn't be suprised if most people just thought: "Used by Debian" == "must be OK". For a reason. It usually works like that :-) But it is pretty clear that the outcome of that thread could have been quite another if you and Ben had presented the union mount ready debian-live and a plan for getting that into wheezy instead of aufs2. Please stop this nonsense now, and start working with the kernel team instead of against them. And that also means working with upstream kernel maintainers, who have been pretty clear wrt the future of aufs2: There is none.
