Your call obviously. In a general policy discussion (not this thread,
not this mailing list probably) I'd love to try and convince the
release team that this is not a hack and is a good thing to do when:
* Breakage is null or low
* Things are in such a state that if you really had to drop enough packages to make a release, you could.
However I'd like to learn more from your side before trying to do
that. If we find ourselves sharing a drink at debconf, perhaps we could discuss.
