I'm going to mark Edgy as unstable. That is:
6.10, codename Edgy Eft (stable
release)<http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/6.10/release/>
to
6.10, codename Edgy Eft (unstable
release)<http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/6.10/release/>
>
I think we can all agree Edgy is... Edgy (aka unstable). If anyone objects,
please feel free to change it back.
Thanks,
Cody A.W. Somerville
