Any proposed timeline with milestones for the debian-booters to consider? Will there be a call for testing on d-d-a before the actual release, to provide better feedback going into the RC and increasing the chances that we can get it in one shot? I would very much like to see 2.6.18 in testing for rc1. Looking at the bug page, I don't really see any indication that 2.6.18 is a regression overall wrt 2.6.17, so aside from sorting out the hppa build failure, I would say that 2.6.18 is already ready for us to push in.
