+the upgrade to buster during the freeze and hopes to complete the
+process before the stretch EOL, somewhere in 2020.

+Notable changes
+===============
+
+Here is a subset of the [notable changes in this release](https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html#newdistro), along
+with our risk analysis and notes:
+
+| Package | Stretch | Buster | Notes |
+| ------------ | ------- | ------ | ----- |
+| Apache | 2.4.25 | 2.4.38 | |
+| Bind | 9.10 | 9.11 | |
+| Cryptsetup | 1.7 | 2.1 | |
+| Docker | N/A | 18 | Docker back in Debian? |
+| GnuPG | 2.1 | 2.2 | |
+| Linux kernel | 4.9 | 4.19 | |
+| MariaDB | 10.1 | 10.3 | |
+| OpenJDK | 8 | 11 | major upgrade, TBD |
+| OpenSSH | 7.4 | 7.8 | |
+| Perl | 5.24 | 5.28 | |
+| Postfix | 3.1.8 | 3.3.2 | |
+| PostgreSQL | 9.6 | 11 | two major upgrades, release notes: [10](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/release-10.html) [11](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/release-11.html)|
+| Rustc | N/A | 1.34 | Rust enters Debian |
+
+Many packages were removed from Buster. Anarcat built an [exhaustive
+list](https://paste.anarc.at/publish/debian-packages-removed-from-buster-without-libs/stdin.txt) on May 16th 2019, but it's probably changed since then. See
+also the [noteworthy obsolete packages](https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#noteworthy-obsolete-packages) list.
+
+Python 2 is unsupported upstream since January 1st 2020. We have a
+significant number of Python scripts that will need to be upgraded. It
+is unclear what will happen to Python 2 in Debian in terms of security
+support for the buster lifetime.
