Hi

Considering the issues we had with (keeping) eclipse itself in testing,
I can understand why the release team would be reluctant to include CDT
in Squeeze at the current time and I admit sharing their reluctance a bit.

Though I think backporting it to Squeeze after the release as Miguel
suggested should a reasonable solution. What do you think of that?
