We believe that this will have a minimal impact on our user community as we expect that most slink users have already upgraded to potato. In order to ease the transition for those who have not yet upgraded, we will provide minimal support until Sep 30, 2000. This will include packages for m68k and i386 only, for the most severe security problems. There will be no further support for the sparc and alpha platforms; sparc and alpha users should upgrade to Debian 2.2 (potato) immediately. We would appreciate hearing whether we have allowed enough time for the slink->potato transition. Please direct your comments to feedback@security.debian.org
