After having seen vapier speaking about stabilisation on -core we had |
| 39 |
a discussion about the wanted news item, which i posted for review. |

Before the "todo" mail, I wrote to the maintainers (Roy and |
| 41 |
base-system) some days in advance, with only a reaction from Roy. |

All I want to do is help with the stabilisation...which I though is |
