I'm aware of quin-diff. Not every architecture uses it though: the alpha porters for example compile things manually and need some prodding at times. Just telling people that quin-diff exists is not enough, you have to pro-actively make sure things get build on time. That is one of the jobs as release manager. I'll explain why I am so upset: you have been saying for weeks and weeks that a 2.2r1 was coming and yet nothing happened. We had a bunch of oustanding security problems and Dan and I were trying very hard to work on them this friday on irc while you were present so you knew we were working on it. I said I was going to work this weekend to make sure we were up to date security-wise and ready for 2.2r1, and I even was up until 5am on friday working on that. I reserved sunday for it as well. And then I discovered yesterday that you had suddenly released 2.2r1. Needless to say that pissed me off. What I want to see is discussion about proposed changes to stable: an easily human readable list of what package you want to accept, which you want to refuse, for what architecture pacakges are already available, and a short statement as to why. Yes, that is some extra effort, but you need to do that anyway to do a good announcement. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-announce-00/msg00004.html for example: that has a list that was discussed and refined on debian-release for 2 weeks before we did the final release.
