Re: [Tails-dev] Basing Tails on quarterly snapshots of Debian Testing: status update… and next steps?

I've been over-enthusiastic here: there are other, more pressing discussions I need to have with the same people, so I'll put this on the backburner until we have a team, plan and budget for the next years regarding such big migrations. So with these two above updates in mind, I think the only sensible way to go is to defer this until April or May. I'll update tickets and blueprints accordingly, and will then update version numbers for next year (*if* we eventually decide to release Tails based on Buster at some point in 2018 Q3 or Q4, then we may have to renumber again, but meanwhile we do need adequate version numbers).
