Given that it's slotted and (barring bugs) won't interfere, and would nee= d=20 to be stabilized before another package requiring it can be stabilized,=20 that would seem to be the point at which we need to worry about=20 stabilization -- when other package stabilization is being blocked becaus= e=20 they require python-3, which isn't yet stable. But until that point... and I've seen nothing even pointed out for=20 discussion as an example of such a package yet... I don't see that it=20 needs to be (or should be) in stable at all. When such packages appear,=20 /then/ we can discuss if the time is right w.r.t. everything else (non- interfering slots, etc, vs. popularity of depending package(s)). Until=20 then, I just don't see the purpose or point in it. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
