This is intended to supplement the existing upgrade reports, not be a sole
source of upgrade info for etch. Since security support is supposed to be
in place since December allowing users to upgrade, the larger question is
whether any recent freeze exceptions have impacted the upgrade process.
Hmm, Andi, did we ever send an announcement to debian-user welcoming people
to upgrade? If not, we should do that now rather than waiting for the d-i
release, which doesn't have much bearing on upgrades anyway.
