I don't see us making such a change for a point release. First, we don't typically get CDs pressed of point releases; second, there is going to be some confusion on the part of users about this change, and I think we can better mitigate that if changing it as part of .0 instead of as a point release. > If we end up deciding to stick with i386 for now to better support > common hardware, this question will still be re-evaluated for a > future release.

We could, but I'm pretty sure it's not worth it at that point. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
