That seems to be the solution the rest of the open source community is
converging toward.  Short sighted is an odd categorization since it
seems to have taken 8 years to come to this conclusion.

Maybe some of the blogs on the issue and other comments in this bug
log would be of useful to understand why.  For example:

That is when wheezy get released.

Best wishes,
