What about a compromise. We start the transition, r-bioc-s4arrays is in
level 3 and given that ftpmaster might accept the new package in 3-5 days
when we ping kindly it will be available before we are in the last level.
I'd like to remind that quite some delays are caused by autopkgtest
errors on rarely used architectures. My experience of past transitions
tells me that a single new package in the beginning will not have some
measurable effect on the total length of the transition.
Kind regards and thanks for your work as release team
Andreas.
