17 That's the plan today, can't be 100% sure it'll happen. You can say
18 'can change' if you think it's better -- but people need some motivation
19 or they're just going to ignore it as 'another PMS noise'.

21 Alternatively, we could mention that pkgcore is broken by this.
22 My point is mostly to say 'yes, this breaks stuff for users today, it's
23 not just some theory'.
