Yes, I think you're right. I based my work on jessie initially because we have JEB's high quality jessie images to use as a baseline for comparison, and I found that useful. In practice, activating a JESSIE or STRETCH class still needs to happen via the fai-diskimage commandline anyway, and these classes override the release variable, so defining a default value for that variable in class/DEBIAN.var was not actually useful. My inclination is to require the user to activate a specific release class, and for FAI to abort if one isn't provided. noah
