Good to know about the eglibc transition. You say "it". Is that referring to all of the newly uploaded packages? I am uncertain what you are referring to here. I think "it" referred to too many different things all at once. :-) I think you might mean that it is eglibc and eglibc won't move to Testing until it is debugged on kfreebsd. And all new uploads will be blocked behind eglibc. So when the eglibc transition completes then at that time there will be an even larger impulse spike in Testing when those packages are finally allowed to transition to Testing. In which case Testing would be a reasonably good place to be *until* the day before the new eglibc transitions to it. And then people might want to avoid testing through the impulse spike of the packages waiting behind it moving into Testing. Then after that time it would return to being quite okay again. That is my tea-leaf reading interpretation of the future anyway. :-) Bob
