We're talking Debian Unstable. That change is at least 2 years out if you're running Testing on your servers or 4 years with Stable. I think that's a reasonable goal.

That's not how the Debian release process works. If everything goes well, that package may hit testing next week[0]; and it may very well be that the next stable release will be in two years.

- yebyen 9y agoIf everything goes well, then this change will not have been particularly noteworthy... it is going into Unstable now, and if it causes problems then that is exactly how it works. Packages are not promoted into (out of?) testing unless they don't have open issues reported against them. If this concerns you, then the right thing to do is to file an issue. Keep it open long enough and this won't make it into the next stable release.
