Intrepid Ibex is now open for general development. Automatic syncs from Debian will begin just as soon as a final set of compiler changes are in place. The release schedule for Intrepid is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule. To summarise the next few months, the dev team expects to be able to produce the first milestone in mid-June, to cease automatic syncs from Debian near the end of June, and to enter feature freeze near the end of August. We do not recommend that users upgrade to Intrepid at this time; there will likely be considerable flux until the initial round of merges is complete. As always, any developers wishing to take the plunge at this early stage should ensure that they are comfortable with recovering from anything up to complete system failure.
