This sounds sensible. Merging core-updates-frozen does *not* mean=20 that it needs to be ready for release. It=E2=80=99s been delayed for too=20 long and further delays just serve to taint our morale and drain=20 our energy, applying fixes again and again with no end in sight. These ongoing delays have made core-updates-frozen grow so much in=20 scope that we cannot afford to delay a merge any longer. Let=E2=80=99s=20 merge asap, even if that means using an older librsvg right now.=20 Then add rust for non-x86_64 =E2=80=94 either by cross-building it=20 ourselves or getting an existing binary to restore feature parity.=20 Then work on a long-term solution. --=20 Ricardo
