Indeed, we have the choice between a 12 month release cycle we *know* we won't respect and a 18-month release cycle we might have a chance to respect....if a general "mind freeze" begins in about 12 months (what I call a "mind freeze" is what we have since early August 2004 when the freeze of the base system was announced). A key point is certainly building up a release schedule ASAP so that all individual maintainers can establish their own schedules for their packages. For instance, it will certainly have a great influence on the d-i team projects for the installer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
