Any volunteers to do such summaries?
If not, I guess you'll simply have to read through the emails when you
get some spare time, Holger :-)

Sure FAI is there - and has been for some time. But installing the
Debian package "fai" (using a sane tool like aptitude) pulls in various
servers and bootstrappers.
What is still pending is "fai-classes" - or, as I suggested to Holger
last week, a non-fai package name better invites for a shared repository
of tweaks organised the FAI way (in "classes") but generic usable.
The reason the tweaks needs to be separate from the rest is that they
can then be included with installations needing to be tweaked (because
no, not all installations will have network access so even no recent FAI
support for CVS as alternative to NFS is not always good enough - the
tweaks may possibly even be applied with other tools than the FAI ones).
