Well said and a very sensible roadmap.  The real thrill that I get from 
this list is watching developers like yourself and Jim respond, in real 
time, to end-users.  By some definitions this is unstable.  From my 
experience, it is very responsive.

In fairness to other K12 thin client projects, it is important to note 
that Skolelinux

http://www.skolelinux.org/portal/

is now based on Debian Testing, which goes stable next month.  While not 
quite as cutting edge, this solution is engineered for larger installs 
needing roaming profiles and centralized authentication out of the box. 
  It is brilliant, and I am certain that their unification with 
debian-edu will benefit all of us.

Also, Harry of OSEF was using Debian unstable and the LTSP years ago for 
thin clients.

The bottom line is that OSS is all about choice, and we all have one. 
It would be hard to find another distro, community, and team of 
developers as diligent and focused as the K12LTSP.  This project is 
nearly magical at times.
