Why do you say this? As long as I've been with Debian, I've never seen anything shorter than a 2 month freeze. How do you propose to shorten it? I think the "Release Maillist" idea will help, but I can't see how we're going to avoid a bug shake-out period (esp. for boot-floppies and debian-cd, not to mention all the pkgs with release critical bugs). I assume we *are* planning to release potato sometime in 1999? -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
