So how about a release note that describes the situation completely, and explains the choice that german users have? I'm looking for a good solution here that can answer everyone's concerns, rather than trying to identify who is more ludicrous. I agree that an apology isn't necessary, but *some* kind of advice, given that sarge will be *removing* support for a large class of users, does seem relevant, and does warrant some kind of mention in the release notes to explain the situation.
