I won't enter this debate too deeply but I have to confirm that I share some concerns with Frans even if it's not my method to express it the way he does it (not blaming: we both have our work and communication method and different work methods is what makes a good team). I don't want to blame you too much, Otavio, because I always find this unfair to people who made things happen. You manage the release the way you think is appropriate and, well, the release is very hard to manage as there's a lot of things to do and you're tempted to do them on your own....just like the former release managers did.....which is what probably cannot continue. > > Instead all we (the rest of the team) get from you is total silence. > > Every once in a while suddenly something happens.

But, some of the most active contributors for D-I (Frans, /me, Jérémy, Joey....) are much less active on IRC....so that may not very well fit our current work method. This is one of the thigns that changed dramatically since the woody->sarge and sarge->etch release cycles. > I've said that I'll look into that and I'll do it when possible.

Having an RC2 will delay the lenny release by about 2 months more, making it impossible to happen before February, imho. Are they aware of this?
