We talked about doing it a little earlier at debconf, but after
talking to zobel we're back at the December estimate. But yeah, I
think the sooner we switch for lenny, the better. Lets just hope that
we get quite a bit of etch & 1/2 testing from our users. The fact that
using backports from sid will probably[1] be non-trivial for the
libata-effected folks will hopefully encourage installs from the
etch+1/2 repo.
[1] probably, because I've still a lot of unanswered questions about
the device name changes. waldi: do you have a plan that you're not
sharing, or is this still open to discussion?
