I request permission to upload pike7.8 7.8.700-2 to unstable, targeted at 
wheezy. It would be practically the same as 7.8.700-1, currently sitting in 
experimental.

pike7.8 is the current stable branch of the Pike programming language. Three 
years after the last stable release, 7.8.352, a new release was finally made 
this September, just a little too late for the freeze.

pike7.8 currently has no rdepends, and few popcon-reported installations. The 
lack of bug reports certainly doesn't mean that there are no bugs in 7.8.352. 
Several bugs have been fixed in 7.8.700, some rather serious, and backporting 
would be risky according to the upstream developers that I'm talking to at the 
Pike conference right now. They would much appreciate if 7.8.700 could be 
included in wheezy. I'm asking them to test the current package in 
experimental.

Thanks for your consideration.

Agreed, removal hint added.
