I usually use this strategy. It is motivating to see more and more packages coming in. And I can interrupt my packaging efforts, other people can pick them up. Or contributors who leave can still leave a trace and add something useful. And other packages can use new inputs. And it avoids duplicate efforts. If one notices a mistake in one of the dependencies later, it can easily be fixed. Andreas
