I understand. We all have things to do =) and it's best catch up on fun & cool as you see fit, more rewarding that way. > I would also like to transition ICU to a later version, maybe 52 when it > is released, but the release team is seriously backed up on transitions, > which is why I have not requested one yet.

I had to plow through boost1.53 transition in ubuntu, and we are now up to boost1.54 with no transition started in Debian yet. I'm still debating about doign -> boost1.54 first, or do -> boost1.54 together with multiarchification. At the moment boost1.53 is multiarched in debian experimental & ubuntu saucy. > I have offered ICU for adoption on two or three occasions but have never > gotten any takers.
