This is really hard to do, thought.  The new packages are needing those
packages from the transition.  I actually injected two packages from
higher levels manually to be able to build one of the new packages.  So
we really need to upload the start of the transition and I do not see
any sense in not documenting what we are doing without the transition
tracker.

However, to make us understand your suggestion better:  Is there any
drawback on your side if the transition of a closed set of packages if
the transition is delayed by new processing?

Kind regards
    Andreas.
