ok, sorry.

"slink-and-a-half" would require more work (kernel-2.2 based, etc...)
2.1r4 will just be a standard stable update that also include a few y2k
fixes.

Nope.
However, we may try to release a "slink-and-a-half" later featuring a more
extensive update (At least: 2.2 based, XFree 3.3.5, October GNOME)
Cordialement,
NB: I currently looking for:
1/ testers for the y2k-fixed packages (see www.debian.org/~vincent/)
2/ non-i386 people to recompile for m68k, sparc, alpha.
Cordialement,
