Actually, we will have to upload Jmol 14 earlier, in order to "activate" the Jan 25 deadline for biojava4. This is because biojava4 is also QA-scheduled to be removed on Jan 4 (because of buggy-deps Jmol https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/autoremovals.cgi) So we'd have to upload it on Dec 22 or earlier, to give some time for biojava4's AUTORM flag to get cancelled.
