OK, thanks, I didn't know where to look for this!

OK, thanks for the details on the release cycle.

And anyway, I rendered my Mini unbootable because of the RAID1 /boot
_with_ metadata that I supposed uBoot would not like; and indeed it
doesn't boot anymore. I will get back to it with my serial cable later
(you have to do some soldering on this thing to get it… what a PITA).
