There probably isn't a "debian-testing-announce" because, AFAIK, "testing" was never meant to be a widely-used release. The announcement of the availability of WPA in d-i'll probably be done when Wheezy's released, in the same way that there wasn't a "we're now defaulting to grub2 in testing" announcement when Squeeze was "testing"; I've just googled "grub2 site:lists.debian.org/debian-announce" and "grub2 site:lists.debian.org/debian-news"). It'd be nice to have a generic "testing" announce-list but I suspect that the developers are busy enough as it is. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
