Agreed.

The sooner the better. But 1 June would be soon enough I think. Thanks
for asking!
As a related aside, I have started looking at it, but the Orca Python 3
conversion is slightly bigger, with more potential points of failure. I
need to get that work solid enough in order to properly focus on and
test the liblouis changes. That's why I've not yet commented further. Sorry!
Getting back to your original question: The situation is that I really
should not do a release of Orca -- even an unstable, early-in-the-cycle
release -- if Orca's dependencies do not have a corresponding release.
Once you do your release, we all can ping the distro packagers to
include it in their unstable repositories.

Yay! And thank you again very, very much!!
Take care.
