Transition freeze ... means no new library transitions or package transitions that involve a large number of packages.
Full freeze: Feb 5 2017.

As always, Debian 9 "Stretch" will be released "when it's ready".

    Do this still hold up in Squeeze?

    And also, it is hardly installing without systemd. What is happening is that debian, with systemd, gets installed, and then an additional command is run that installs sysv. Because the two conflicts, apt will then strip out systemd again, and anything that depend on that specific package. You can't pick between systemd and sysv within the installer.
