Having two independent testing distributions means the stable releases of d-i do not have to be in sync with the stable releases of Debian. When the time for next stable Debian comes, it will use the last stable version of d-i (and ofcourse the versions of the packages in d-i need not to be in sync with the versions in Debian). I think it will be much easier to release Debian if a working stable version of d-i is always available and the release managers do not have to release d-i simultaneously with Debian. For the people who work on d-i this approach will also be simpler. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
