I guess a lot of packages from sarge are made from gnu projects that
could be really endanger.
If some projects are attacked by lawyers and have to close down, what
happen to the current packages made from these apps?
Does sarge just got released to let people have the last chance to get a
decent debian distribution?
Have a look at http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/
Sarge was released at the point the green graph was projected to reach
zero. It's gone up again because testing isn't Sarge any more.
This sucks
Yes, but democracy being what it is, it will happen. How many of your
non-IT friends are concerned about software patents?
