I really first thought it has to do with the day of washing the lions ceremony [1]. I'd suggest avoiding such a date for announcements in the future. Anyway, I then checked the facts, and really ... \o/ !!! It feels great to use apt instead of apt-get / apt-cache, and the new colorful output is awesome (btw, will Dpkg::Progress-Fancy be on by default on the next update? I kind of like it...). *THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON APT* !!! Debian wouldn't what it is today without it.
