Just to clarify two points:
1) Uploads will still be permitted during the freeze period for such
standard and task packages if they're no-new-code, just-fixing-bugs?
Just like an Old-Style Freeze (tm)??
2) crypto: I maintain balsa, which is in a task package, so I'm
letting 1.2.3 stabilise and hopefully make it into testing (no reason
it shouldn't, AFAIK).
However, if the crypto-into-main thing is finalised, will I be allowed
to upload an ssl version? The only change would be adding
--enable-ssl to the configure line, and a version which supports APOP
and secure IMAP will be much more useful to most users, I imagine.
