Popularity? But we do not measure (yet?) how many times a substitute is downloaded. For example, I do not use ungoogled-chromium so I would prefer that the resources of the build farm would be spent on these X packages. Bob and Alice, they would prefer these Y packages. How do we reach a consensus? And security is one criteria. But how to detect it is a security fix? (Aside the issue of ungoogled-chromium about the time limit you described; which should be fixed, obviously. :-)) I understand the annoyance and the frustration of the substitutes availability but I am not convinced that some packages have higher priority on the substitute delivery than others. All the best, simon
