This sounds rather, well, hopeful. Please stage the transition in
experimental first, and test/fix reverse dependencies. Then come back and
we'll schedule a time to do it in unstable.

(Transitions should really be ready to go by the time they come to us;
they should also be able to happen quickly, because a blocked transition
holds up all sorts of other work.)

Thanks,
