You are welcome. :-)

What is blocking me from trying to move it to unstable is this discussion
that I had with upstream:

https://jira.mongodb.org/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/CXX-923

They finally released mongocxx 3.0.x, that they currently recommend for new
development. On the other hand, my use case for this package (Orion context
broker, https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiware-orion), seems to still use
the version I packaged, so I kept the package in experimental.

What is the purpouse of this metapackage?

Maybe the new driver could be an alternative for this package?

Currently I have no time at all (and will likely not have time for the next
few months). So feel free to work on this package as you want/need.
I am open to co-maintainance or even to orphan this package, if you want to
adopt it.

Best,
Giulio
