putting back my words in the “let's try and get ${a set of packages} to
migrate together” context, it doesn't mean I want to get rid it
entirely. It basically means a temporary removal from testing so that
the transition can proceed. Once the package is fixed, it can get back
in; and in case anything can be done by the release team to make that
happen (which usually isn't the case), we are happy to do so.
Mraw,
