I am part of the kernel team, and don't know about such things, so i guess it
can be classified as FUD until there is further detail comming out.
The only case which could be considered as such, was when the ftp-master
rejected the new linux-2.6-exp or whatever it was source package, which was
supposed to contain the xen images, and other images which should go into
unstable but not ready for prime migration to testing.
If this is the one mentioned here, then it is a sourceful upload, and not what
we are discussing here.
