Debian Announces Sarge Will Include GNOME 2.8

El Cubano writes "A recent posting to the debian-devel-announce mailing list announces that Sarge will release with GNOME 2.8. From the announcement: 'After requests and a detailed proposal from the GNOME team, we accepted an upload of GNOME 2.8 into sid, and, via the usual mechanisms, into sarge. We should mention that the release team was running out of objections to GNOME 2.8 in unstable that the GNOME team hasn't satisfactorily addressed; this, and the fact that they have demonstrated good reaction times of late are the main reasons why we're approving it despite the timing.'"

Does that mean we'll have a long wait while the developers scratch their etch?

This is incorrect. Situation now: potato = obsolete woody = obsolete sid = unstable sarge = obsolete but with a recent version of gnome Once sarge is declared stable, woody = obsolete sid = unstable sarge = obsolete but with a several-year-old version of gnome unknown = obsolete
