Hello again, We are on our way to getting zstd merged.
The planned merge window for this is **2019/12/27** at around 20:00 Europe/Berlin time. Several team members will be meeting at the 36c3, so we figured this is a good opportunity to do this, as it makes sure that several people are aware, ready, and together for this - should anything immediately explode. This has been ACK'd by anthraxx. Foxboron is also aware. I have been mentioning this on IRC, and discussed it with anthraxx via e-mail. This mail serves to formalize the plans. **There is one hard requirement on the merge happening:** All critical Arch Linux production infrastructure needs to be ready. The known-unsolved problems are labelled below, please see to them if any of you can. I will also take a look myself, but I do not have much involvement with these parts of the puzzle, so I would really appreciate someone with more in-depth knowledge taking a look. If the known issues are solved and nothing major comes up, the deployment will happen as planned.

This is also non-critical. > - devtools: Solved: Patches ready, will be merged with the switcharoo. I encourage every Arch Linux project maintainer to check their own code for hardcoded xz extensions, you probably know your code best.
