I shall get my knuckles rapped for releasing information out
of debian-private, but the security team expressed an inability to
simultaneously support potato and woody (just confirmed this on IRC,
talking with a security team member), and especially given the
explosion of packages for woody.
Indeed, the security team indicated that potato support would
have to be dropped summarily when woody was released _unless_ changes
were made (or a decision would have to be made to only support some
arches, but not all, even from the mainstream ones). This was
obviously unacceptable.
