There is a big difference between "isn't going to be suitable for
release" and "isn't suitable for release yet."

Now, Anthony, I've asked you a half dozen times.  

I have been patient with your questions, despite their nasty tone.
Are you willing to join me in calling for all Debian developers to
likewise be patient and willing to answer questions about their areas
of responsibility?  Or is this all just a giant smokescreen to deflect
attention from the inexcusable way that James Troup carries himself in
this project?
