Not sure who you were saying that to, but I did raise that we should
avoid the transition; perhaps I should have used stronger words

I think you're mixing libdatrie and libthai above, not sure; I was
proposing to:
- change libthai/unstable to not cause linkage on libdatrie
- rebuild pango against that to drop the datrie dep
- upload new datrie
- rebuild libthai against it

Theppitak is upstream for datrie and libthai as well
