edesio writes with a snippet from debian-news.net, trumpeting an announcement from the ongoing DebConf10 in NYC: "Debian's release managers have announced a major step in the development cycle of the upcoming stable release Debian 6.0 'Squeeze': Debian 'Squeeze' has now been frozen. In consequence this means that no more new features will be added and all work will now be concentrated on polishing Debian 'Squeeze' to achieve the quality Debian stable releases are known for. The upcoming release will use Linux 2.6.32 as its default kernel in the installer and on all Linux architectures.""

Released with no RC bugs? by gringer · 2010-08-06 11:33 · Score: 0, Troll

Like being released with a positive number of "release-critical" bugs, and that count going up over time. My guess based on past Debian release history is that we'll be looking at around 100 RC bugs at release time (it's around 500 at the moment).

If only it were as simple to do 'apt-get --purge remove debian'
