Two weeks since Hideki asked for a change, I dig in both
debian-www@l.d.o and Debconf-team archive: Gerfried, Valessio, Holger,
Francesca, Damyan and me agreed to change it, and Brian proposed to add
an explanation box.
Only Alexander was against the change mainly because it has been sent
this way; true, it is in the public archive [0], (as this discussion),
noone will deny that, but the change proposed won't say that the
announce is wrong, it will just drop the mention of "10th".

(For the record, I proposed to changed 10th to 11th before it was
published [1], and was answer that it has been decided to act as if it
was the tenth one. I chosen not to argue about it two days before the
DebConf started, sorry not to have proposed earlier a non problematic
phrase without mention of the count at this moment.)

Sure, so I'm going to change this on the web page right now, and perform
back my previous "consistency" changes on the DPN web archive.
Cheers
