 No, this is not my excuse for the upload. I simply decided to do the
 upload two days before realizing that it was base, and when I did the
 real upload, changing the priority, I only think that I had my mental
 ok for uploading the package (without thinking on the implications for it
 being base).

 I'm very sorry for all the inconvenience I have caused.
