There is one transition that we could do before gnome-shell and friends and before libgweather: tracker.
I filed https://bugs.debian.org/993052 for the transition. We can take gnome-panel & gnome-applets 41 beta from experimental by reverting the gweather commits to keep the transition unentangled. I'm suggesting this order for the GNOME 40 transitions: tracker, then gnome-shell & friends, then the libgweather mini-transition, then evolution-data-server Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
