The reason I added this for jessie is that there's still some possibility that we might manage to get secure boot set up in time for release, and 32-bit UEFI is increasingly a thing we have to care about (as discussed with Steve McIntyre), so I wanted to make sure that this detail didn't catch us by surprise further down the line. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
