This is an important point. Now I found the real words for this situation.
Let me quote Douglas Adams' *The Restaurant at the End of the Universe:*

"Transtellar Cruise Lines would like to apologize  to  passengers
for  the  continuing  delay  to  this  flight.  We  are currently
awaiting the loading of  our  complement  of  small  lemon-soaked
paper  napkins  for  your comfort, refreshment and hygiene during
the journey. Meanwhile we thank you for your patience. The  cabin
crew will shortly be serving coffee and biscuits again."
[...]
"Yes," said the voice again, "there has been a delay.  Passengers
are  to  be  kept  temporarily  in suspended animation, for their
comfort and convenience. Coffee and  biscuits  are  being  served
every  year,  after  which  passengers  are returned to suspended
animation for their continued comfort and convenience.  Departure
will take place when the flight stores are complete. We apologize
for the delay."

This is how he decribes a 900 year delay of a regular spaceflight.
Sometimes I feel that forcing users of Pywikibot to make exotic updates for
BS when they only want to use basic tools is this kind of case.
Excuse me for that.
I have already run this exe, this philosophical detour is for future only.
