Huh? Why do you say this? As long as I've been with Debian, I've
never seen anything shorter than a 2 month freeze. How do you propose
to shorten it? I think the "Release Maillist" idea will help, but I
can't see how we're going to avoid a bug shake-out period (esp. for
boot-floppies and debian-cd, not to mention all the pkgs with release
critical bugs).
I assume we *are* planning to release potato sometime in 1999?
