Hi release team, With the planned freeze in July but it looks like I won't be able to get netconf into testing before August - unless of course a GSoC student or other people help out. Unfortunately, this means that netconf could not be made default in Debian before lenny+3. I'd much rather be able to aim for lenny+2, though. I would thus like to ask whether it would be possible to get a tentative freeze exception. netconf is a new package without reverse dependencies. In as such, I cannot see any technical reasons against a freeze exception, but I may of course be wrong. Having already talked to Andi on IRC, I understand that you have reservations about making exceptions during the freeze. This is why I bring up the issue now already, in the hope that it won't need an "exception" anymore by the time August comes around.
