Re: When will debian-amd64 be official

[Nicholas Hemsley <nick@blackisha.com>]

I think it is, to a large extent, out of the hands of the amd64 porters...

It is up to the debian ftp masters, and various powers that be.. I think 
they (the amd64 crew) are all sick of wondering about it themselves... I 
am sure they will put it on this list when more info becomes available.

(btw, i am not involved with the amd64 team, but have followed this list)
