I interpreted it as a humorous allusion to the importance of keeping
the FTP Team well motivated at this stage in the release process...

Here I have to agree; there are some problems with "objectivity" in
this issue (here and to a lesser extent with the evaluation of the
CUT proposal). I'm not sure how to fix it, though.

If it wasn't a quote I'd have corrected s/setup/set up/.

Still inside quotation marks. Mind you, we could trim a few of the
excess uses of "please" elsewhere to balance it out a bit.

Oh yes, 2006/2007/2008/2009/2010, you're right. Why is everyone
miscounting this?

What, the one that says "This year, 8 of our 10 students succeeded
in our (very strict!) final evaluations"? Do we usually get better
results than that?

Definitely.

Bugs with fixes on the way may affect the frozen suite, but I think
the idea is that they don't affect "the upcoming release". Perhaps
the text should assume that readers already know its intended name
and number by now? Or there's another chance to fit that
information in at the end of the paragraph - "for the Debian 6.0
<q>Squeeze</q> release to happen".
(6.0 or 6.0.0?)
