It's the release team's policy for sarge and etch. There's not enough testing to go around, and the release cycle is too long, to make skipping a stable release a realistic option. We actually know already that upgrades from woody to etch are not possible, because of a circular conflict/pre-depends in some essential packages that requires upgrading to sarge before upgrading to etch. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
