In case you might wait for a confirmation and wondering why nobody is
sending one: Usually there is no reason at all to stop anybody from
working so you can simply enject your packaging without asking. Just
ping the list if you need a sponsor.
For this actual case I wonder whether plink2 would be a drop in
replacement we can provide instead of the old pling (which means the
interface is compatible and the test suite if there is any creates the
same results) or whether you think plink and plink2 should be provided
in parallel.
Kind regards and thanks for your work on this
Andreas.
