I've penciled ia64 in for the twelfth, I'd appreciate any more firm deadlines I get get, especially on the kernel thing. > Not atm.

Tricky... take the latest of i386 frozen in testing alioth back up new kernel pkgs uploaded then allow, say, three days to get ide-probe-mod and kernel-installer changes uploaded, new d-i build, new iso, quick test. I can't really speak for when the kernel pkgs will be done, as I don't know what Bdales commitments are.

This sounds suspiciously close the the date estimates I asked for regarding when each architecture will be ready for the beta. FWIW, I have received no estimates at all so far.
