That is, not because I say so, but de facto, because it wouldn't have a
bootable kernel for old world. Last week I upgraded the appropriate
kernel bug (#375035) to grave (which makes it RC), which means the bug
will be fixed, someone will demonstrate that it's just me and the other
guy (and downgrade the bug), or old world will be dropped.
I prefer #1, but #2 at least means some people can use old world mac
with debian (though until #1 happens I won't be able to verify that
etch works with old world, because #2 means *I* still have a
non-useable system). Apparently there's a new kernel package recently
uploaded, so once I can try installing I'll see what state we're in.
Cheers,
Daniel
