This thread has been moved from debian-release already.
That's because debian-release is not a discussion list, it's only for coordination of the release.
We're discussing a question that could affect decisions on the lenny release schedule.
The release schedule will not be affected by whatever ESR says in his essays. Debian already includes 64bit architectures in its release, so if you want to use them, you already have them. The schedule of the next release shouldn't be affected by how many people buy new 64bit machines, they'll be able to use Etch on them.
Which list is appropiate for that?
No Debian-list is appropiate for discussing how many win64 games are out there, nor how easy it is to program in Visual Basic for non-developers, nor for explaining the methods that Windows uses to make games run faster, nor for discussing the costs of running Microsoft Office. You've already raised your concern about having a release in 18 months. I think that your 64bit "deadline" is as valid a reason as someone saying "I don't want to be running 2006's GNOME in 2009", or someone else saying "I want Debian Stable to include foo, bar, and baz, which are currently only in Testing" You don't need to keep an off-topic thread alive so that your reasons are heard. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
