That poses an issue, indeed. Bad timing for the soft freeze. Can we speak to
the release team? I mean you announced the meeting in December?!

It is not only Jekyll. There are plenty of AUTORM-marked packages which are
scheduled for removal by the beginning of February and before we really start
to work. We need to keep an eye on them and postpone the scheduled removal date
to give us time to work on them.

There is now an official patch attempt by upstream. So I hope that their
attempt won't have much implications.


I'd have hoped to concentrante on that in Paris, not now. But if necessary,
I'll dedicate some time beforehand.
