    The ISOs will always appear slightly before the official announcement -
    this ensures that they have a chance to propogate before people start
    looking for them. The Project has also stated that they are subject
    to change without notice at any time prior to the official announcement.
    (The final build has to be marked -RELEASE and get pushed to the master
    website. If a problem is found with it, then it will get fixed and
    rebuilt with the same name). [And, yes, I realise 6.0-RELEASE has been
    officially announced but that was about ˝hr after this mail]

    There was a recent thread about installing kernel.debug to ensure that
    correct debugging symbols were available even if someone had rebuilt
    their kernel. I think it's an excellent idea to distribute kernel.debug
    because it should allow users to provide better quality problem reports.
    (Though I'm less certain about / being the best place to store the
    kernel.debug file).
