The page still contains at least two references to woody. See attached proposed patch. Is that page intended to be used as a template while etch is still "testing", or after the etch release when people are upgrading from oldstable to stable? If the latter, then it should also be updated to refer to the latest stable release notes, rather than http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/releasenotes (I can see how one might argue that we no longer need the upgrade reports after etch is released, but I don't know that I agree.) noah
