Luk is referring to 11 bugs in linux-2.6 which all have a 'patch' tag, and
which the maintainers have been ignoring so far. Option 1 wouldn't cause any
"disruption" to the release process, other than moving support for these chips
to non-free when the patches are applied. Any other delay is self-imposed.
I hope this helps everyone pick the options they feel most comfortable with.
Sincerely,

Unfortunately you forgot to also mention this bug for instance:

Which has been prematurely archived on 2008-08-15 while in
mid-discussion, by one party in that discussion.

This is partly because they've had very little testing. Some of the
testing showed serious bugs, which I believe I have now fixed, but
others may well still be present.
Again, for anyone who wants to test the latest versions of these patches
(which I have not mailed individually to the bugs, sorry), see
http://people.debian.org/~benh/firmware-removal/

There's no reason to think that the array in question is not the
preferred form for modification.

There are currently 31 bugs marked lenny-ignore. As I understand things,
if option 1 makes it all those 31 need to be fixed before we can release
lenny.
Note that 2 of them (488895 - lucene2, 495256 - cacao-oj6) have been
fixed in unstable but not in lenny.

Some of these are technical issues rather than DFSG issues, so aren't
relevant to the GR.

Uh... it was archived on 2008/09/6 by the BTS itself after the bug had
been closed on 2008/8/7 and the last message was on 2008/8/8.
So no, it wasn't prematurely archived, and more than 28 days with no
discussion certainly is not mid-discussion.

I checked carefully before sending the above message; the dates on the
bug discussion and control messages *were* as I described. Yet today,
they're as you describe. I have no ready explanation for that
discrepancy.
This thread certainly isn't the place to discuss strange observed
debbugs behaviour, though, so I'll leave it at that for now.
