I think this is logically weak. Lenny will be stable for a long
time; if we can assess the new patches in, say, 4-8 weeks, we have
people runing stable with non-free stuff in them that they have had for
years, but allow them to have a free kernel for the next tweo years ro
so.
I think that continuing to use non-free stuff for 3 months -- vs
using non-free stuff for wo more years -- and we are unlikely to
release for at least another month, or more, given the trending of the
RC bugs, and adding in the fact that we'll be delivering on the promise
made in the SC to best of our ability, I think waiting makes a whole
lot of sense.
