If the packages does get positive review, there should be a note to the
release manager(s) not to merge it until there has been an agreement.
Though in this case, it looks like getting a vote seems a formality.

of both libraries for both upstream and the SPKGs. It isn't even decided
yet whether the two libraries might get merged in the future. Finally,
William asked me to not add a new SPKG but to add the M4RIe extension to
the M4RI package.
One obvious disadvantage of that approach is that since one library relies
on the other, the first could be built in parallel with some other
packages. That could potentially slow parallel builds.

Your point above says that's probably because you have an old version.
But I said above, there is the latest version on there -
({{{/usr/local/sage-4.5.1-Solaris_10_SPARC-sun4u-SunOS.tar.gz}}} is a pre-
built copy of the latest version of Sage on 't2'). If that does not work,
let me know - I'd be very surprised if it does not. Otherwise, you could
just build Sage from source.

See point above.
