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
