It's also funny that people want debian to release so bad, and yet fight
the release team at every announcement.  I don't see a problem with
wanting to know as much about transitions and migrations in advance as
possible.  I'm sure there will be additional transitions/migrations that
come up during etch development, but the more the release team knows
about, the better prepared they can be to propose deadlines and release
estimates.
