Indeed. Given that it's slotted and (barring bugs) won't interfere, and would need to be stabilized before another package requiring it can be stabilized, that would seem to be the point at which we need to worry about stabilization -- when other package stabilization is being blocked because they require python-3, which isn't yet stable. But until that point... and I've seen nothing even pointed out for discussion as an example of such a package yet... I don't see that it needs to be (or should be) in stable at all. When such packages appear, /then/ we can discuss if the time is right w.r.t. everything else (non- interfering slots, etc, vs. popularity of depending package(s)). Until then, I just don't see the purpose or point in it. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
