the point is that lenny+half is delayed up until manpower is freed
by no longer supporting the etch linux-2.6 images.
that contradicts somehow the lenny+half intention as by that time
typicaly squeeze starts to get mass installed.
if you take a look back same story happened for etch:
2.6.18 -> 2.6.26
etch+half uses 2.6.24 (although there were also some upstream reasons,
due to unstable dynamic ticks and bug friends that i no longer remember).
