Not exactly. Christmas email reindeer animations were a conspired by a renegade faction of Santa's elves who have ties with Microsoft headquarters hometown, Redmond, WA (U.S.) city officials. In response to the U.S. Justice Department Microsoft antitrust lawsuit investigation, Redmond city mayor said regarding the allegation of ties to Santa's elves: "I don't remember .. I don't know what that means". The U.S. Justice Department now believes a splinter group of the Santa's elves faction has fled to New Zealand and that Christmas email reindeer animations will increase dramatically by December 25, particularly for Debian Linux users. There is no evidence to support the rumor that Debian developers are intentionally delaying release of slink to promote wild speculation on the debian-user list. David
