William is building this whole X11 stack together as required
dependency for firefox and the packages will hopefully released
pretty soon.
William, do you have a time estimate?

Is this really that much of a problem? I see that it
is cleaner to release one package after another,
however in this case the dependency chain was quite
long and making a straight path quickly was IMHO
a good idea here.

However, the rule you mention sounds reasonable and
we can continue complying with it.


Best regads
