Hi there!

You might want some more data regarding the transition risk involved
here.

Unless something actually changed in the archive since last time,
there's always a small transition involved with libc6: there's a handful
of packages that always need rebuilds on version bumps as they hook into
internal APIs. I don't have the list here, but it's in the README.Ubuntu
doc in the repo, and IIRC those packages aren't seeded (could be wrong).
The rebuilds are quick and painless, especially compared to the
regression hunting that happens in parallel.

However, addition of things like openat2 or mseal sometimes triggers
hard-to-detect "transitions": it's the kind of symbol that is ifdef'd
into a custom implementation if not provided by the libc. That means any
rebuild of affected packages would pick up a libc6 (>= 2.43) dependency.
However, contrary to normal transitions, we don't *need* to rebuild
affected packages, as it doesn't block the glibc migration.

Since we're in FF, chances of that happening while 2.43 is in -proposed
are fairly low.

IMHO, this FFe should be granted.
