Debian announcements

Inactive Debian developer accounts will be deleted using regular WaT (*W*here *a*re *T*hey?) runs to determine a developer's status. "Selection of the people included in those runs will be done in a way that we avoid sending out such mails to active people. As a good start we will take the upcoming DPL vote as an input source, everyone who doesn't vote this year will be included in the first run. * Please note that you can vote without expressing an opinion! *"

The expiration of the Debian archive's signing key for 2006 has broken most of the installation media from etch RC1. "The only RC1 images that should remain usable are the full installation CDs and DVDs, but only when used without a network mirror."

"Will be deleted" is a bit strong. "Degraded, but easily recovered for at least a year" would be more accurate. Read the actual post for details.
