No need for interpretations anymore, here's the word from the Release
Manager:
<fatalerror> vorlon: will the release team kill us if we update gnome
after december?
<aba> fatalerror: if you do it as neat as the last update before sarge,
not
<fatalerror> aba: heh, ok =)
<fatalerror> aba: we were trying to reach a consensus on a release
planning on d-g-g, and it seemed perfectly reasonable to ship etch with
gnome 2.14, which should be released in March
<fatalerror> aba: but svenl insists GNOME fits into the "world-breaking
changes that should be done before december" category
<aba> well, if you make sure you don't get RC bugs in sid that hold up
the transition, I think March can work. But please be prepared to make
regular uploads to experimental etc
<fatalerror> yeah, our intention is to push 2.12 into unstable soon
<fatalerror> and start working on 2.13 right after that
<fatalerror> so we have the whole development cycle to keep up with
changes, so changes when 2.14 is released should be minor
<aba> please make "soon" _after_ we finished with the c
++-abi-transition :)
<fatalerror> sure, no need to worry about that =D
So I guess the proposed release schedule is good enough, and that we
should follow it unless someone has other objections. Anyone?
See ya,
