I admit the ball was dropped on this by various people (myself included), and sorry about that. [1] The new major upstream release was also a long time coming... But to me the deeper question is still "why are we proactively breaking the distro" in this way with package retirements by non-maintainers? Sure FTBFS is bad but there is no need to proactively remove core packages which are still working okay. I really really wish could stop this... causing more busy work and stress. Jens [1] short version is: there was a partial package owner handover which was not properly completed unfortunately.
