It will also be interesting to see whether there are remaining bugs in aptcc 
that should be fixed.
In general, aptcc is much slower than it needs to be, mainly due to its really 
ineffective cache handling (reopening it again and again for most transactions) 
and old code that was copied from various places (apt-get, Synaptic, even 
aptitude).

I wanted to fix the caching issue at some point, but that would as of
now amount to massive refactoring - we even discussed briefly with KDE
Neon people the possibility to do a clean rewrite of PKs APT backend
(quite some effort), which might be a possibility in the future.

In any case, there are currently no known major bugs in aptcc, except
for its slowness and inability to parallelize read transactions (the
latter was due to APTs limitations in the past, and the APT guys say it
might be possible now - unfortunately, aptcc itself isn't ready for
that, due to having been developed non-threadsafe for a long time :P)

In any case, on topic: Thanks Robert for working on updating GS!
