Cyril is the d-i release manager (and most active developer), and that's what he's focussing on. The "Stretch d-i RC5" announcements were specifically for d-i, not for Stretch as a whole. The final *Stretch* release was under the control of the release team, obviously with attendant discussion with the installer and images people too. >What would be nicer/better perhaps if debian-live does announcements >on d-d-a and more importantly hint as when it's going to be nearer to >release (final image). ACK. We need more effort to do this kind of thing, and volunteers to help drive it. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "You can't barbecue lettuce!" -- Ellie Crane
