Hi Thomas, hi Release Team, hi Moodle maintainers.

Given that:

a) we fail at releasing Moodle updates to unstable in a timely manner (and I
   have my share of the fault here);
b) we consequently fail at releasing Moodle security updates to wheezy in a
   timely manner (this unblock is opened for almost two months);
c) Moodle 2.2 is already not supported anymore by Moodle HQ for anything (not
   even security), according to [0];
   Furthermore on that point, as far as I can see, there is noone taking
   responsibility to handle Moodle 2.2 security on the long term (Moodle in
   Wheezy will need to be security-handled for roughly three years, yet it is
   _already_ not supported).
d) there is (in my opinion) not enough people behind the maintenance of
   Moodle-in-Debian: Thomas is a good DM, but he's mostly alone, and I'm not
   willing to get more involved.

So as much as I find that unfortunate, I think that the best solution for all 
of Moodle, Moodle-in-Debian and Debian, is to not ship Moodle 2.2 in Wheezy.

Thomasz, as you're the actual de-facto maintainer, please voice your opinion 
as I have voiced mine: the decision is in the hands of the Release Team I 
guess.

Cheers

OdyX
