unfortunately, i can neither unblock open-vm-tools [...]-3 nor review
[...]-3 for you, this is a task of the release team. there's nothing i
can do about it except asking you to unblock said version, which i did.
if you're not able or willing to unblock it, that's fine, i accept
that. the responsibility and consequence of this decision hower is
yours, not mine.

i've objectively and neutraly stated that, apparently, it's a fact
that it's better not to fix rc bugs in sid right away in such
situations, but instead to wait for the previous already unblocked
package to migrate first in order to lessen the burden on the
release-team.
this fact was new to me, i've learned it now, and next freeze i'll do
wait in such situations until the package has migrated.
if that is 'lay the blame at anyone [elses] feet', then i'm very
sorry, but you do need a reality check.
