The status is that glibc 2.11.4 will be released when Debian feels it
is ready, as we are the main testers here. I am planning to do some more
testing of the current SVN on more machines, and everything seems fine
around the release of 6.0.3, I'll ask around for the release of 2.11.4.
I can then upload it to stable just after the release of 6.0.3, which
should give us sufficient additional testing before the release of
6.0.4.
How does it sound to you?
