The only library transition we have so far is libmutter0d -> libmutter0e (with
only one rdep, gnome-shell, which will be updated as well). The core packages
(glib, gtk+, mutter, gnome-shell, ...) are all in experimental already, built
everywhere and working fine. I thus think we can get this done pretty quickly,
so I'm acking it. The 3.14 RC is scheduled for tomorrow, so we'll start
uploading that and we should be finished by next week.
