Yes. This is pretty much exactly how I feel. And I suspect it's a general feeling by a lot of people: we freeze for too long, and we don't like a lot of the implications of that, but we don't know how to do better and get releases out faster because there's a truly intimidating amount of work that has to get done to do the release and all the alternatives seem to make the work even worse. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
