It has been reported that Debian developers have voted to postpone any social contract changes until they have given out the release for next stable version of Debian. From LWN.net:
“An unofficial announcement (click below) has gone out: the Debian Project has voted to postpone its recent social contract changes until after the next major release (”Sarge”) goes out. The changes in question force the removal of all documentation, data, and other materials seen by Debian as not being free; they had threatened to delay the (already tardy) Sarge release. This vote should pave the way for a faster release. Note that the project adopted the resolution wording which defers the changes indefinitely, rather than the version which put a September deadline on the release.”
