frankly, I'd rather have a targeted fix (if possible) sooner. Given the
current amount of transitions we're dealing with, I'd rather process
this one quickly, possibly starting right after tonight's britney run.

I think I'd prefer sourceful uploads for bobcat and ccbuild only, ASAP,
then binNMUs, then everyone migrates, then (transition over) you'll be
able to deal with new upstream releases without being on our radar.

No worries. It's not like it's about the kernel or libreoffice. ;)
