We've rewritten the debian installer exactly once; I'm having a hard time figuring out how you drew a line from that data point. > This isn't to say that the d-i folks aren't doing a great job.

Contrary to what Matthew Garret said, the installer has not been considered a sarge release blocker for at least the past two months. The Debian installer is currently in a more releasable state than Debian. Suggesting that we somehow insta-port the boot-floppies to sarge (and the 2.6 kernel) at this point is beyond absurd. -- see shy jo
