note that in my "master plan" i would like to see such snapshots somewhat stabilized (as in "not too badly broken, usable", not as in "debian full blown release") and announced them publicly. the reasoning behind this is that a certain group of people seem to like to update and reinstall as often as they can to get the feeling of maximum up-to-date-ness. And debian (as it has testing, anyway) can satisfy their demand easier, as in passing. I envision drop-in artwork packages that gives those snapshots a new look even, featuring a consistant suite of themes between stable releases. bottomline: make those snapshots vaguely predictable, ask the release team to prevent testing to be too badly broken, drop in a new look and feel and announce it much better, more visible. /andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
