So that’s 3 more 1 GiB installer images, right? If we target Oct. 29th,
how are we going to test them in the meantime? How long will it take to
build them, even assuming we build on an OverDrive?
I don’t want to spoil the party, I think it’d be great to better support
those devices, but it seems to me that there’s still quite a lot to be
done before we can offer that with reasonable confidence.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
