Stretch is coming on 2017-06-17
The Debian Release Team in coordination with several other teams are preparing the last bits needed for releasing Debian 9 Stretch. Please, be patient! Lots of steps are involved and some of them take some time, such as building the images, propagating the release through the mirror network, and rebuilding the Debian website so that "stable" points to Debian 9.
Notice, it is for today, it say " Upcoming ", when the release process is finished,
a announcement will be made, saying something like " Debian 9 released "...
