Well, fine for me if we will manage to maintain two packages (currently
we have the situation of one unmaintained package :-().

Sounds reasonable in principle at least.

I do not see any reason to use the freeze as a big club to push us
foreward. It is nice to have up to date software in the next stable
release but I bet we will fail at one or the other front. That can not
be avoided except if suddenly 10 gifted packagers might join the project
out of nowhere.

Just take your time. (Apropos time: I decided to upload beast-mcmc to
non-free for the moment and we might try to get it into main for the
next release.)
Kind regards
Andreas.
