In that case, maybe someone could address some of the issues we raised when the transition was first proposed? e.g. the "requirement" for changing the development page name and thus needing otherwise unneccessary source uploads of a bunch of packages, the huge number of known FTBFS issues.
We don't just not start transitions for our own amusement, and the implication that the transition is primarily being blocked from our side is not really appreciated.
