No, I wasn't going to attack anything. Sorry, I should have made
that clear maybe. I just want a baseline on which to formulate a new
press statement.

You mean apart from the media that missed the "freeze" part of the
regularity and think that Debian will be doing time-based
*releases*?

There are still media expecting us to freeze in December.

The media seem to think that what happened in July was officially
sanctioned (due to it being an official press announcement). Ever
since, a lot of discussion, the decision was reverted, and
a tentative freeze date announced. No announcement about any of this
was made, so you cannot really blame the media for assuming that the
goals of July are still current.

Does this make sense and explain my motivation now?
