Some comments on that:

1) slink was the release before potato, not before woody. potato was supported for one year after woody release. IIRC, the security team asked some months before that for comments and only little objections were rised
(although one of the objections was concerning a pool of a few thousand
machines, again IIRC). A search in the archives of debian-devel-announce
and/or debian-devel should probably suffice to prove me wrong or right.

2) the intended policy for the next releases can be found in the security
