There are even important packages that didn't release for some time
and have bugs with patches for some time. These packages are also the
most difficult ones for handling. Hijacking an unimportant package
(with the appropriate procedure of course) is not difficult; hijacking
an important package where the maintainer is also a important person
is something I personally certainly can't do. So, this discussion
seems me not to be about optional packages, but of important and other
base packages.
