It is obvious by now to everyone there is a communication problem of some sort. Whether you believe it is a problem caused by certain people, including myself, flaming certain groups in Debian and/or you think that those groups have a total lack of communication, it does not matter. The fact is as the consitution (2.1.1) currently stands, as mentioned by Manoj, we can't do anything about it. The GR was seen, at least by me, as a last attempt to be able to get the amd64 port into Debian before the sarge release. The amd64 port has been more or less ready since late May, but ftpmaster refused to ever comment on why it was not added to the archive[0]. The amd64 team has in the past thought about releasing its own dist separately from Debian, various Debian mirrors have already offered to host it, so perhaps this will be the best way to proceed. Perhaps in several years once sarge+1 is ready to be released amd64 will be in the archive. I will refrain from making any more comments on this and the GR thread unless explicitly asked to do so. It has been a long time since I could say I was honestly happy with the way Debian has been going and almost all of it can be pinned directly on the communication skills (or lack thereof) of a few people.
