Bug#790703: Status moving forward?

[Matthew S Wallace <wallacem@gmail.com>]

I’m not actually using unstable - I’m using testing.  I ran apt-get upgrade (against stretch) 1 minute ago and as of right now I have three icons that work in systemsettings:  Personalization|Applications, Network|Settings, Hardware|Display and Monitor

Not sure if this is related, but I also noticed that I cannot access kmenuedit by right-clicking on the application launcher.  This was also the result of my upgrade.  kmenuedit from the command line works just fine.

systemsettings5 correctly displays settings for KF5 applications, so it's just a question
of more KF5 packages making their way into the archive. You can verify this by installing
bluedevil (currently 4:5.3.2-1 in unstable) : a bluetooth icon appears.

This seems reasonable, but I don't understand what the plan is here.  It seems like it was premature to upgrade systemsettings to the v5 version before the rest of the system was ready to handle it.  I ran apt-get upgrade and my whole settings system broke.  Was this really the intended behavior?

The exact timing of when each package hits unstable is unfortunately not entirely in the maintainers' hands :

- a lot of packages had to trickle through the NEW queue

- as some packages Build-Depend on others, they could not hit unstable simultaneously

- etc..

Hopefully by now you have recovered the bulk of the system settings applets?
