Thanks!

Before starting packaging 2.32, we need to do the nsl and rpc
transitions, that's why nothing has been started on 2.32 yet. I think
that has to be done in 2 steps:
- nsl transition: packaging libnsl [1] and libnss-nis [2] and build
glibc without --enable-obsolete-nsl. I have started working on libnsl,
but unfortunately all rdeps don't build. I have stopped working on
that this week, I think I'll find some time to work on that next
week, then I'll push my work to git.
- rpc transition: we need to package rpcsvc-proto and build without
--enable-obsolete-rpc. I have also starting working on that, but then
realized we have to take care of nsl first.

We haven't enabled MR on salsa as nobody really monitors it and we don't
want things to bitrot there. We can enable it, but it should not become
a duplication of the BTS.

Let's wait a bit from a possible answer from Josue given it's a holiday
period.
