Dear Sage devs,

There is consensus that no-one cares about oldish crystal pickles,
and it would make the inclusion of #8911 technically easier if we
could drop them.

Hence my question: what's the official procedure for updating the
pickle jar?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
                                        Nicolas

Hi!

Has this questions been resolved? Can we set a positive review on the
patch #8911 and update the pickle jar?

Cheers,

Anne
