Removal of CELT will remove a major feature of src:roaraudio. It will not render the package useless just will make it useless for a group of users. This is why we like to make this a smooth transition with getting in Opus first, then removing CELT. Also note that this transition needs users using it to change config so it should not be a single upload removing one and adding the other. The cirtical factor is time here. Ron Lee is a bit late with this transition in the release cycle. Had he given us about a month more we would have done all this already and everybody would be happy. I have discusses several possibile ways to get this solved with the-me (the maintainer). In fact both of us would *really* like to get this done. CELT always added some extra work both upstream and in maintaining packages because of the unfrozen bitstream. -- Philipp. (Rah of PH2)
