One concern I have is that we not wind up with bugs open at release time that we *would* have fixed if we had not set them aside as bitesized bugs. Should we target these bugs to 11.10-beta, so that we make sure to round up any that are still outstanding at that point? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
