While the patch would solve the RC bug and get dasher back into testing, I'm hesitant to assist in uploading it because the question "Do we *want* to ship dasher in it current state?" is not something your patch addresses. If we do get dasher back into testing we'll likely have to also support it for the lifetime of stretch. If we're struggling now to find people willing to invest any time into dasher maintenance how will we be able to make any guarantees about being able to support it for the lifetime of stretch? Until we have a somewhat enthusiastic maintainer it's probably better to make dasher available "on the side" rather than in the main distribution IMHO. Could you tell me your view on this and what your motivation for posting the patch was to better help me understand your situation? Regards, Andreas Henriksson
