I'd prefer if the GSoC stuff was merged at the end of summer, or at least
when it is fully functional.

My concern is not as mentor but as Debian maintainer.  We're trying to
stabilize for a release currently;  major reorganization of the code
without enough timeframe to stabilize will force us to branch quite early,
which I'd rather avoid if possible.

Thanks for considering ;-)
