I can't remember the exact dates but I think Debian Potato was frozen before Python 2.0 was released. Once a Debian release is frozen packages are not upgraded except under unusual circumstances. > I recently received a mail from Stallman indicating that an > agreement with CNRI has been reached; they have agreed (in > principle, at least) to specific changes to the CNRI license > that will defuse the choice-of-law clause when it is combined > with GPL-licensed code "in a non-separable way".

Woody would be another character from the Pixar movie "Toy Story" (just like Rex, Bo, Potato, Slink, and Hamm). I believe Bruce Perens used to work a Pixar. Debian uses a code name for the development release until a release number is assigned. This avoids some problems but has the disadvantage of confusing people who are not familiar with Debian. I should have said "the next stable release of Debian". Neil (aka nas@debian.org)
