I was going to see how detailed my previous one was, but it seems the search engine is offline (glimpse can't load library 'libc.so.5', oops). I'll wait until I can find it, but if you know of something more recent (I know someone was talking about it), then feel free to pose the url. [ hours tick by ] Ok, found it quickly, took a while to catch-up: http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-project-9910/msg00052.html It might be worth reproposing it after seeing all the debate and different ideas. But it's late now and I'm tired. I kind of think the discussion would have been better suited for this list, but to each his own. Take a read over it and see if you want to keep the staging discussion going. My current problem with the stages is the human interaction required. I believe a freeze now requires individual attention to each package that tries go get through. I tend to favor automation where possible and decreasing the time of the freeze when possible for scalability reasons. However, if one is proposing to automate the actions that occur during a freeze then none of what I just said is valid. Thanks for forcing me to check the archives Adam.
