If releases can be made without going through the Release team, then it is not the Release team anymore. Debian is a volunteer project. You are not the Release team by fiat, but because you are doing the work. If you stop working on doing what is generally understood as a Debian release and want to work on a crippled 4-archs releases, it is certainly your right, but you will not be the Release team then. The people working on the real Debian release will be. Debian will not work-around you to release for the other architecture, because you will be irrelevant. And it is not a personnal attack, it is just the way things work. And still Steve and Colin, I think that you have made a wonderful job so far. The Vancouver plan looks like you feel yourself a failure because your initial sarge release plan was stretched unreasonnably, but it is completly unwarranted, and you have shown us all how to handle testing transition in a faster and more controled way several[1] times already, and I am sure we will benefit from this experience in the future. But don't despair! Etch will start on a much more solid ground than Sarge. It is much too soon to give up, Debian has enormous resource that has yet to come into play.
