There was a several weeks (maybe longer) period of time where unversioned emacs and emacs-goodies-el was staged in experimental. During this time no issues were identified. Speaking for emacs-goodies-el, I failed to identify the breaking changes related to building with emacsen-common 3.0.2; however, these were only revealed when users who ran mixed emacs_from_testing + emacs-goodies-el_from_sid encountered issues. Rob, do you think the fastest way to resolve the issues in testing would be to fix the issues related to those three packages that are failing with unversioned emacs in DebCI and are delaying the migration?
