I believe the proponents of the GR intend for it to be added to sid and testing as well as sarge. It's not really intended as an end-run around them so much as there's an implicit assumption that there won't be any problems w/ amd64 in sid/testing. The GR probably could have been better in this regard. I don't believe 'not being in sid/testing' is justification for keeping it out of sarge unless there isn't enough time to get amd64 into sid and through testing prior to sarge being released and w/o holding sarge back itself. I havn't heard anything but speculation in this regard. If anyone has any concrete and specific reasons why it would hold back or cause important packages to be dropped from sarge then please speak up and let us know so that we can work on them. I do know some issues have been brought up on debian-amd64 and we've worked to resolve them. Stephen
