Oh, OK. It would have been nice to have a clear communication on this.

We had some discussions with some ftpmasters but it wasn't clear to me

Do you have a recommendation of the number of binary packages or long 
Provides
(or know what will be accepted or not?)

Piece of advice: please reject packages instead of leaving them pending 
for 6+ months :)
