Ouch. If that is true, I hope ftpmasters will announce it to the
developers, as a blocked NEW hinders development of Debian and should
not we a surprise. An announcement would at least give us some idea
on when the NEW holding will end, and let us plan ahead.
It blocks my development at least, as I normally want to make sure one
level of dependencies are in the archive and doing well before I move
on and upload the next level of dependencies. Blocked NEW stops all
progress in this case, and I spend time on other things while I wait.
