As long as we continue to support security updates for potato, I'm not concerned about it. > 2.

What do you think about such an answer ? Actually, that hasn't been my experience at all. I've had our listmasters tell me there was a better way to do something than what I was asking for, I've done stupid things on debian.org machines that someone in the admin team had to come clean up, and I've uploaded packages that our ftpmasters bounced because I'd missed something in a license or done something else weird. I don't ever recall feeling that I had been treated worse than I deserved. > 3. We'd better release : The first priority of our releases should always be quality, and not schedule. Having said that, I talked about "release predictability" last year in my platform, and after many conversations with many different people inside and outside the project in the last year, my personal opinion is that we should try to release a new stable version about once a year. > 4. The DAM is : James Troup. I regret that I have not yet met James in person... but I talk to him fairly regularly on IRC and occasionally via email, and find him quite reasonable to discuss things with. He does an amazing amount of good work for Debian behind the scenes. Bdale
