Just noticed that myself on LWN.  Announcement is at 
http://www.debian.org/News/2007/20070408 for those interested.

Debian releases always seem to be this way - first I can't wait for them, then 
they're delayed, then I see grumbling about how the process is broken, then I 
forget about it, then it springs out of the blue (at least for me).

This is great timing, I'm about to build some new servers and I don't much 
like using testing (or unstable).
