2.2.11 -- to wait for i386, or not to wait

[Adam Di Carlo <adam@onshore.com>]

<drow> basically ppc is ready.
<drow> i don't care if modconf is broken still at this point; powerpc 
       can get away without it usually.
<drow> But .11 will be a MASSIVE ppc fix (see debian/changelog)

In that case, I encourage you to undergo the release process:

  - put your name on the changelog
  - tag the sources
  - build it clean with source
  - sanity test the resulting images
  - dupload it to master/Incoming as you would any package

I say this, even if we *NOT* build the tagged 2.2.11 code base for
i386 due to critical i386 problems which must be fixed (modconf, lilo,
kernel/modules).

I do *not* want to hold up porters as they wait for all arches to be
in sync.  That's crazy.  I rather you just took version 2.2.11 and if
we just need a few minor changes for a nice i386 version, than we just
make a 2.2.12.  Numbers aren't scarce.  We just would need to be
careful that no one uploads broken boot-floppies.

So please go ahead.  I ask that you follow release policies as defined
above and announce to this list when you have tagged and when you plan
to make the upload.
