I have no problem keeping it until the Sarge release.  I'm not entirely
sure what the right thing to do is after that, though.  If Sarge+1 is
the usual year away, it may be best to drop this patch in unstable right
after the release so that a mass bugreport can be filed and ask the
whole world to just make the transition.  (While protecting stable
users)

It would be nice to get glibc to the point where we're doing major
transitions at the beginning of the release cycle, instead of at the
end. =)

Tks,
