I am. Also I'm subscribed to debian-devel, ...

Right and it contained indeed a very important detail hidden in:
"The Debian Installer team is currently preparing the first (and
hopefully final) release candidate of the lenny installer."
That is together with Christian's String Freeze announcement for Debian
Installer one of the rare recent process reports.
The previous announce I'm aware of was "September 2008: Release lenny!"
from http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/07/msg00005.html
I know this is not the right list to complain, but for the future: If
someone has more detailed information please share it. My problem was
finding a good deadline for translators of aptitude (to short and I will
miss some patches, too long and all recieved patches will not reach
Lenny :-)
