Any reason debian-boot was dropped from CCs?

Yes, it will be very nice to have XO supported in Debian, but it is totally unrealistic to expect that could be implemented in D-I before the release of Lenny, so this desire is not a factor in the current decision. For one thing: current libparted does *not* support jffs2. And then there's that huge set of minor adjustments in D-I (and elsewhere) that needs to be made for a new system, especially one so radically different from mainstream hardware. All of which need to be written, discussed, uploaded, tested, fixed, ..... D-I is going into feature freeze too, just like the rest of Debian. And for unofficial images you don't need the kernel in stable. Let's please keep arguments realistic instead of focussing too far ahead. Cheers, FJP
