Dear release team,
I've been investigating the status of bash-completion-lib, which is currently
RC buggy and, more generally, not suitable for a release (e.g. total
lack of any documentation).
Additionally, and thanks to David Paleino (Cc-ed), I've checked with upstream
that bash-completion-lib, while not yet abandoned, is currently not being
developed and his upstream is contributing all his work on the more mainstream
bash-completion package. Upstream plans to drop bash-completion-lib anyhow in
the future once the "load by need" feature will be part of
bash-completion. Considering that bash-completion-lib has never been part of a
stable release, that the maintainer has not replied to its RC bugs, and
comparing the popcon of bash-completion{,-lib}, I hereby request it to be
removed from testing.
In fact, I think it should be even removed from the archive completely, but I'd
like the maintainer (Cc-ed as well) to voice his opinion on that more drastic
measure.
Cheers.
