If you ask me we should simply start the transition and see what needs
fixing ... may be asking release team for temporary removal from
testing.  We are in a quite early process of the release cycle.  So we
are not really in danger to loose any important package in the next
stable release.  Even if we are running any tests now the fact that
something is broken will not increase forces to fix these breaks and
we might wait for ages.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
