We depend on the experts (the kernel team) for the information we need in order to make good decisions -- or better, to help *you* make good decisions. Based on this thread and other discussions, I understand that the current 2.4.26 packages are unsuitable for release because of security bugs, and it looks like the new 2.4.27 packages are closer to being in a releasable state than 2.4.26 is. Compared with this, the NEW delays are minor; I'm happy to stick out my neck to get the 2.4.27 packages processed faster if I know the effort won't be wasted. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
