I'm cool with using experimental if we have to stick with 2.6.12
in etch/sid in the short term. But do we have any idea how long this
is going to be. Are we talking in terms of days, weeks or months?
In the case of months, I guess that means we should be looking at
a fresh 2.6.12, or does that have a negative impact on the
packages in testing situation?
As for 2.6.13 vs 2.6.14-rc, thats really a bit of a moot point.
My feeling is that by they time we get 2.6.13 ready, 2.6.14 will
probably be out, so aiming at 2.6.14-rc for now might be a good idea.
But I'm really more concerned about making sure that the > 2.6.12
release happens. Walidi and Dilinger were doing some fine work in that
area, but it seems they are busy and not much is happening.
What is the status of replacing initrd. Do we actually have a solution
that works across a wide range of architectres? Wide enough for
an upload to experimental? Wide enough for unstable and testing?
