Quid Singlar 3 (3 < 4) ?  We may introduce Singular 3 in main beside Singular 4 unless Sage is really
on the edge to support Singular 4.
As they must coexist, at least for a while, I suggest to bring Singular 3 in main with a suffix 3 everywhere
(to avoid collision name).

Otherwise, I see two other important issues:
1] gap 4.8.5 was released last month, so I guess it will arrive in main soon, will libgap follows ?
2] pari 2.9 may be release soon (see previous email).

Is it possible to prioritize the task to do (with some kind of scale) ?

Thanks,
Jerome
