Debian 2.1 (slink)



I tried to post the following message to a mailing list of Debian,
but was denied. Can anybody answer it here?

Most of the key parts of Linux had major upgrades in the last weeks,
or are going to be upgraded very soon. Most of these upgrades, are
the first major upgrades after years of the previous major versions.

My question: What of the following versions is going to be included
in the slink (2.1) version:

1. Kernel 2.2.?
2. Samba 2.0.?
3. glibc-2.1
4. Java 2 for Linux (to be released in a few days).
5. GTK+-1.2 + GNOME-1.0 + Enlightenment-DR0.15 (all to be released
   before end of February).
6. BIND-8.2 (currently - a release candidate, an official version
   will be released soon).

I know that there is a code freeze, but I don't know if it covers
everything, and if it means that the next Debian will be an obsolete
Linux or up-to-date. After all, nobody wants to wait till the summer
for 2.2, when the RedHat users will enjoy these exciting revolutions
since March.

Thanks in advance,
