Er, rough guess: it's being done because many people like you and me need it?
And I expect it to be in debian 3.2/4.0. Though I'm not part of any plans nor
have I joined discussion (and only briefly read parts of it).
What I don't unsderstand though is that many people don't want it in sarge. I
know it would have delayed it even more. At least after WinXP x64 is released
and world+dog have an AMD64/clone (;-) on their tables it'll be laughable not
to have an AMD64 port of debian/stable. And we all know it'll take another
three years until debian 3.2/4.0.
Plus in many companies, something that's called 'testing' or 'unstable' won't
be allowed on production systems, even if it's more mature than any SuSE etc.
ever was. That's a heavy set-back for debian in corporate environment I
think. I also have some trouble here btw. but I can stand it.

Yikes! you have an ugly sig ;-p
