Yes, it's fine that you submitted this, I am not complaining, and I don't plan to close them or anything.

I guess that you mean Jessie. I considered that, and if LXDE-Qt was there in time, I would have done that. But what is the alternative for the ~250 users that we already got without even being released in a stable release once? It could stay in unstable only, but I don't know if it's a good solution. What do you think? I used it for years and it fits the purpose of having a simple desktop to launch graphical applications, for computers with simple purposes or for a second session in the same machine.
