Could we get an answer to the below question? I'm currently uncertain
how to proceed with libmd as I have pending to do an upstream release
with targeted fixes, and have several packaging fixes too. And
depending on the answer below I'd either discard one or both, and
request or not a pre-approval unblock, or forget about it. I've also
just pondered simply requesting a pre-approval unblock, given that to
me libmd seems clearly to be in the essential-set now, but… :)
(I don't greatly mind the answer, say "yes, they should be but because
they were not included we will include them on the next freeze", or "yes,
they should be considered", or "no, they are not", or anything else, I'm
more interested on knowing how to proceed to get this off the back of
my head. :)
