I believe you are significantly overstating the consequences of this switch. It is just a dependency swap in meta-gnome3. The vast majority of users will not have trouble configuring their audio. PipeWire implements the PulseAudio API. There is no basis to the idea that we must make all major changes to Debian at the beginning of Debian's release cycle. You're also compressing the timeline. Debian 12 will not be released 4 months from now. We have a transition freeze in January which we understand to be the deadline for when we ought to have made a final decision on this topic. We are still able to fix release critical bugs until the Release and after the release as stable updates. I think we should make the swap this week so we can see the actual effects instead of hypothetical concerns. Thank you, Jeremy Bicha
