Hi, Paul Gevers <elbrus@debian.org> (2021-04-09): > The Release Team believes that the state of bullseye is pretty good. > Yes, there are some blocking bugs [1] and d-i and shim still need some > love, but the state is much better than we remembered from the same > time in buster. As already explained, trying to release in April/May wasn't quite anticipated, and there's still ground to cover on the d-i side. > Last time in the buster release cycle, it took quite a while to pick a > release date once it was clear that buster could get released.
