you're bartering ease-to-review on your side against ease-to-maintain on our side. We have the case for both Frameworks (83 source packages) and Plasma (56 source packages) where we have upstream doing bugfix releases that we won't have in bookworm due to $process. That's disappointing, I don't like that conclusion at all, and it's not going to make neither bookworm nor our relation with upstream better. Now we're back to tracking upstream commits on nearly 150 git repos and backport the ones that seem the most pressing, thank you very much. Anyway, nothing personal. Thank you for your work on release coordination and all the best. -- Disappointed Aurélien
