Nope, I have a perfectly normal day and I'm 100 % sure that the
reasoning is rational. I don't mind if you want to let the Java 9 fix
migrate to testing but this is IMO unnecessary because people are
supposed to develop with Sid anyway and an RC buggy package is RC buggy
and I don't understand why you even defend that. I mean Netbeans has
been unusable for months now and that's all because of upgrading jaxb to
2.3.0. There is certainly nothing wrong with an update but when it
breaks reverse-dependencies we should do better than to ignore it and
argue about severities. I have reassigned this bug six months ago! We
worry about too many leaf packages but ignore a full blown IDE that
people actually use. Marvelous.
