Well, there was a syntactic social contract GR which slyly passed the
more important decision that all stuff in debian is now software,
including documentation and data. This meant that all the GFDL software
was now considered non-free, and should be removed from debian before
the saarge release. The Release Manager claimed that this would take a
long time, and that he could not iun concience make the release in the
time he was planning with this.
There was a new vote, which ended on july 2, in which we decided to
waive the requirement of dropping all GNU documetnation until after the
sarge release, so it is again possible to release sarge on the old
schedule (or lack thereof), which also means that the sarge release will
heppen rather sooner than later, hopefully this summer.
For more info, read the debian-vote mailing lists archive.
And welcome to debian politics :)
