Hi Steffen and everybody,
it is not a punishment, it is just reflecting that if the bug is not fixed,
then the package can not be released. The package is still in Stable (where it
is not affected by the bug), therefore our users have a good access to it.
Maybe this is a good criterion to add ? If a leaf package with a RC bug is
present at the same version in Stable and is not affected there, then it can be
removed without discussion ?
