It seems obvious to me by this point that this thread is not about something
that should be a candidate release goal; a task should be presented as a
release goal *after* the technical details have been sorted out and all the
proposer is looking for is for the release team to support NMUing to
implement the existing consensus.
So please don't cc: this discussion to debian-release, which is not a
discussion list. :)
