Then I think we should not miss the opportunity to ask for more funding for the LTS effort, so I'd suggest adding a paragraph linking to https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Funding - patch (#3) for that attached. There's one irritation though, which I could not fix yet: if support for Squeeze LTS ends now or on the last day of February, and support for Wheezy will be taken over from the security team on April 26th, what will the LTS team do in the maintime? It reads as if the LTS team would do nothing til then. > I haven't proposed a release date yet. Next Sunday, 14th February should > be Ok? I'd be more in favor of February 29th, patch (#4) attached. cheers, Holger
