It has been around for multiple years across various distributions. I
don't think "waiting" is what you want? It is not by waiting things
automatically improve? At least the -devel and -vote discussions seem
low signal to noise. The more interesting stuff seems to happen in
bugreports and separate discussions.

It has been talked about for at least 12 months or so, no?

Mostly curious about your view on above.
