There were some very important technical and social lessons to be learned
from this whole process, as well as a whole lot of incredibly valuable
research and a greater understanding of some misunderstandings and
fragility in how are full ecosystem of packaging tools fits together. I
think the only way out for the /usr-merge transition specifically is
through, and until we finish that we're probably not in a good position to
absorb those lessons in a more comprehensive way, but I hope we don't skip
that step.
