IMHO that's just nitpicking: Debian doesn't really recommend (> 3 years old) woody for new installation and a newer Debian release is available. That meets my definition of 'obsolete'. That aside, I don't care if we call it obsolete or not, but I think it's really important to point out that sarge exists in the woody release information. So maybe something like this is better? =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/webwml/webwml/english/releases/woody/index.wml,v retrieving revision 1.25 diff -u -r1.25 index.wml --- index.wml 18 Sep 2003 16:04:23 -0000 1.25 +++ index.wml 22 Oct 2005 14:44:38 -0000 @@ -9,6 +9,15 @@ our <a href="$(HOME)/News/2002/20020719">press release</a> and the <a href="releasenotes">Release Notes</a>.</p> +<p>Please note that the Debian project has released <a +href="$(HOME)/releases/sarge/"><b>Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (<em>sarge</em>)</a> on +6th June 2005, so you may not want to use the Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 for new +installations.
