+<p><strong>Work continues on d-i RC1</strong>. Everything is in place and only some building
+and testing needs to be done before the new version of the installer is
+released. Development work on etch's installer after this will be limited to
+bug fixes, and an update to the 2.6.18 kernel. Frans Pop
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2006/11/msg00040.html">posted</a> a
+todo list and an updated timeline.</p>
+
+<p><strong>ARM v3 support</strong>. There was a
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2006/10/msg00071.html">thread</a> on
+debian-arm about whether etch should support the arm v3 instruction set,
+used in a few older arm systems, but not supported by mono.
+Wookey <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2006/10/msg00093.html">said</a>
+"Yes. I think the time has come for arm to drop v3. It might have been
+better to anounce this earlier, but never mind." There were no objections.</p></div>
