Code freeze for Debian 6.0 Squeeze expected in August

This, I think, means that if FreeDiams 0.4.2.x makes it into testing in time 
(which it should have), 0.4.2.x will make it into Debian 6.0 Squeeze which will 
become the next "Stable".

The next FreeDiams 0.4.3 will make it into the the next testing, which will not 
make it into Squeeze. 

I am not sure what % of users use stable for desktop machines, and what % use 
testing.

My only immediate concern is that if any of the bugs that I identified were 
serious (I think I identified at least one that was a clinical concern), that 
bug fix *needs* to get into FD 0.4.2.x+1 (0.4.3?) because maybe it will be 
harder to get it in after the freeze?

Ubuntu 10.10 (codename Maverick Meerkat) ‘Debian Import Freeze’ passed on 24 
June.
