Done
Unless some crisis in Universe/Multiverse erupts that is more unlikely than my imagination can, um, imagine, Universe/Multiverse is done for Intrepid. As of this writing, the MOTU Release Team bug list is empty (please don't add more, there's nothing we can do except point the bug at MOTU SRU and you can do that yourself). Thank you to everyone who worked hard on making Universe wonderful for Intrepid.
Each release seems to go a bit better. For Hardy we had some late library transitions that kept us busy up until final freeze (and even post release). This time we got it all done well in advance. We've come a long way since Feisty were MOTU were uploading all the way to final freeze with no coordination and we had some packages that were built on i386 and not on amd64.
It looks like we did a really good job of picking up RC bug fixes from Debian. Much better than I've seen in any previous release. Thanks to ajmitch for providing the RC bug tracker, to wgrant for significantly improving it's usability, and for everyone who worked on getting these fixes into Ubuntu (even if you only did it to bump your rank in Ubuntu Top Uploaders (you know who you are).
Thanks again everyone. Time to get busy looking at intrepid-updates until Jaunty opens.
