Why do you put the kernel together with the essential toolchain freeze, it should be together with the rest of base, i believe. > N-110 = Mon 7 Aug 06: freeze base, non-essential toolchain (including > e.g. cdbs) > N-105 = Mon 14 Aug 06: d-i RC [directly after base freeze] > N-45 = Wed 18 Oct 06: general freeze [about 2 months after base > freeze, d-i RC] > N = Mon 4 Dec 06: release [1.5 months for the general freeze] We will have a kernel which is outdated by two versions at release time with this plan, since there are about 1 kernel upstream release every 2 month. So, we will be asking the question about the upgradability of the kernel later during this release process, and i believe that it is not something which should be ignored. Already you are considering upgrading the sarge kernel which has some trouble booting on a rather non-negligible quantity of hardware, so having a two version outdated kernel at release time is not nice. Already it should be possible, provided the d-i guys get their act together, to have a new d-i .udeb sets within 48 hours or less of a new upstream kernel release, altough the image build may take longer, and we hope to get the external modules and patches streamlined by then.
