I hope they haven't jumped the gun by releasing a Buster version before Buster is officially released, but I will give this a go later in the week.

It's my understanding they did this because of the need for the support for the new SOC in the PI 4 wasn't able to be backported to the kernel that was in Stretch (No idea why it wouldn't be able to be, but that's what I read).

I figured there would be a reason but thought they would have waited for Buster to become stable, although that would obviously affect sales which I imagine would be a bigger concern. I haven't heard any reviewers having issues so I guess it must be all good.

Assuming the pi version of Debian tracks exactly the amd64 version, then it will be eligible for release on 7/12/2019. And SHOULD be released no later than I believe 10/12/2019. So worst case would be less than 4 months, and best case is literally a couple weeks before buster is released as stable.

Raspbian uses armhf if that makes a difference.

It may, I actually don't really know much about the releases other than amd64 and i386 though. :D

So, the official word is 7/6 Buster goes stable
As mentioned before, the Debian GNU/Linux 10 "Buster" operating system is scheduled for release on July 6th, 2019. According to the Debian Project, the installer images will be available to download around 13:00 UTC and the live images should be available as well around up to 2 hours later in the same day. Stay tuned for a more detailed announcement this Saturday!
