Hi,
In December there was about 120 release critial bugs left, now there is
about 100. So I 'guess' Feburary-March. Also, the mentioned date of
December was not a statement from anyone in Debian, December was a point
in the release timeline where folks would re-evaluate what was left to
do for the release.
Cheers,
Kev
