 a week, and investigation of the last three messages in the list archive 
 (re: spamassassin and f-prot-installer) indicate that receiving no comments 
 is nothing unusual.

 So, is the Debian volatile archive officially dead?  Now I don't care much 
 about random .debian.net (== unofficial) services, but OTOH volatile is 
 mentioned in the release notes, so peolpe would expect it to work.

You mean, if there is a week where people are only available for
emergency services, an service is officially dead? Sorry, I disagree.


Cheers,
Andi

yes, I have only waited a week, and I agree with you that people can be very 
busy for one week and not able to answer mail.   But a week is not the 
impression I get:

Johannes Rohr:
 [Hello, I'm resending this message, as I have been waiting for a
 response for almost a month now]

Marcus Frings
 Four weeks have passed since this announcement, thus I would like to
 kindly ask when this package will hit the official volatile-mirrors. Did
 any problems occur?

This is not just 'a few days'.

As I said, I'm not involved with volatile at all, and getting no answer for 
a week and, on investigating, finding that the relevant mailing list is 
very low-traffic with the latest messages being two other people 
complaining about delays of a month, does not give me a good impression.

If this is a temporary situation, all the better.
