For this opinion poll I'd say "name as".
OK, thanks.
No... that's the same. The upcoming release is in any case Squeeze, the current testing. When Squeeze will release, it will be affected by 0 release-critical bugs. In its current state though, Squeeze has 271 RC bugs. 200 would be the number of RC bugs in squeeze which are not fixed [in unstable].According to the<a href="http://udd.debian.org/bugs.cgi";>Bugs Search interface of the Ultimate Debian Database</a>, the upcoming release, Debian 6.0<q>Squeeze</q>, is currently affected by 200 release-critical bugs.The number is currently 271.The "details" link gives "Affecting Squeeze: 271; Squeeze only: 71; Remaining to be fixed in Squeeze: 200". It seems to me that the source of confusion here is that "Squeeze" is ambiguous between "the packages we currently have in testing" and "the packages we expect to release in Debian 6.0". Not that there's any good reason to give theupcomingreleaseDebian6.0Squeeze a namecheck in every paragraph of every issue of DPN! Maybe we could say: According to the<a href="http://udd.debian.org/bugs.cgi";>Bugs Search interface of the Ultimate Debian Database</a>, the upcoming release is currently affected by 200 release-critical bugs. Any better?
