I understand.

I just wanted to give my suggestion for improvement for GNS. :-)

Because I've invested quite some time in deriving from Squeeze. I
expect deriving from Wheezy will be very similar, which means we can reuse a lot of the work for Parkes. But I also expect it will be different enough to not make it a copy and paste job. With the
end of support for Deltah's base I rather release now with an old but supported base than leave a gap of no support of probably several months while we work on a Wheezy based version. Remember that 3.0 was originally set to be based on Lenny.

Squeeze's support will end in less than a year and we must have a Wheezy-based release before that time. But that will be 4.0 and for now Parkes is the subject of my attention.

Why can not we at gNewSense based on Debian Wheezy stable version of the Debian project ?

So such not to get stale.
