2.3 is NOT Debian Stable material. It is not complete, it is not safe, it is not even remotely bug free. And it is very unlikely that it will be any of these things by Etch freeze time. It is, however, good enough for "unstable" with a lot of warnings (and there is no dobut it would be at home in "experimental"), and there is no reason why it could not be made available for Etch via an apt-getable backport repository. Remeber: we can easily update backports, but we _cannot_ easily update Debian Stable. > I had a short dialog with Henrique about this a while ago (Dec 7, 2005) > and I think he said he was going to wait until 2.3.4 to start working on > this. Yeah, but the fact is that early 2.3 is being release-managed in a way that has not stabilized that branch at all. So please let me revise what I said to "after about four stable releases of the 2.3 branch", and there has been *no* stable releases of that branch yet, IMO... -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
