This is probably just the first of many test cycles tho... if .15 doesn't get in the door this time, you can always get it in the next one. I'm also against releasing with any known security holes, but I also think it is probably too expensive to abort the test. Unless it can be postponed for a very short time, say 4-7 days. There's still abt. 12 days in front of May 2 tho. Maybe there's still time to get the kernel with its patch in? -Jim --- Jim Lynch Finger for pgp key as Laney College CIS admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.laney.edu/~jim/ as Debian developer: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.debian.org/~jwl/
