Yes, indeed, he was clear enough on that. But in the meantime,
anybody who wants the nice AA fonts, who wants rxvt-aa, who wants
RandR, who wants any current packages, is hosed.
Can we maybe not do this next time? I think Debian's got it right:
stable only gets security or data corrupting bug fixes, unstable is
the latest-n-greatest, and frozen is a release candidate. Each of
these has a codename. Debian uses characters from Toy Story as a
theme. New releases start out as unstable, progress to frozen, and
become stable.
