Actually, this article is from January 2002, almost two years ago. So,
to me as someone who is reading d-d since about April 03, it seems that
Adrian is starting to help again Debian. I've seen a lot of usefull
suggestions and bug reports, and I do welcome this as a usefull
contribution to Debian. (I also share most of his conclusions. Why do
we make a release plan if a lot of important packages ignore the
plan?)
Cheers,
Andi
