I'm sorry you feel that way.

It didn't seem to me like the eds transition would interfere with any
other. The poppler transition isn't ready to start according to the
information available and the suitesparse transition collides with
ongoing transitions. Please enlighten me if I've missed anything,
and please also see that it was not my intention to stand in the way
of anyone else.

If you need to spend your time on dealing with any other transition
that's fine with me.

If it's any relief to you I hope we'll have the eds transition in
good shape very soon.
Most packages has been uploaded, what remains are basically:
- wait to see if anyone is willing to review the gnome-panel
  update I've prepared in pkg-gnome svn before I upload it.
- wait for the maintainers who has responded to bug reports
  to act on the message they just got where I asked them to
  upload their fixed package to unstable.
- wait for a couple of more package maintainers to acknowledge
  a NMU of their packages.
- schedule binNMUs
- remove leaf packages which apparently noone care about.
- wait for slow architectures buildds to finish building.
I'm probably too optimistic but I hope we can finish this
within a few days. The binNMU of libreoffice and slow buildds
might make it more then a few days.
