Phosh wouldn't be affected by mutter or gnome-shell *directly* (except
when e.g. a gsetting goes away that we didn't notice yet but since other
distros already switched that is unlikley). I've also already tested
phosh with gnome-session from experimental.

I'm happy to test Phosh. Would be great if you could let me know when
components are in sid. Anything besides

* gdm3
* gnome-kiosk
* gnome-remote-desktop
* gnome-session
* gnome-shell
* mutter

?

Hope that helps,
 -- Guido
