I'm a bit more positive although things are still moving slowly. There is 
now a new source package that provides the needed kernel meta packages 
waiting in NEW for testing-proposed-updates.

A further delay will be caused by the two major kernel security issues 
published this week which means a new linux-2.6.16 is needed. We will 
need to also update the kernel udebs after that.

I still intend to post a more detailed release plan when the kernel is 
ready to migrate. As the past month has shown, it is useless to do so 
before that time.

Cheers,
FJP

Does this mean that Etch would be released with 2.6.15?


Or cancelling Beta3 is more postponing it?

I suspect an issue that could affect the whole release process. Am I wrong?
