There has been some discussions with the kernel and d-i team about the
kernel version(s) for etch. Though there is no final agreement, current
tendencies are to ship etch with 2.6.17 or newer.
The kernel will be frozen on July 30th or shortly after, but there will be
(at least) one chance to put ABI-changing kernel changes or even a newer
kernel into etch in mid of October, shortly before building the final
installer for etch. Currently, due to the massive number of local root
exploits there is some delay relative to the original time line, but it
looks like this is not going to delay the final release. We are currently
sorting that out with the kernel- and installer-team.
Donc la décision sera prise en octobre pour voir si ils passent sur 2.6.18 ou si ils restent en 2.6.17
