I'm not totally sure what _exactly_ is being said here... so paraphrasing:
* Ross prefers dropping screen 4.0.3 but keeping 4.3.1 in oe-core, correct?
* Otavio/Khem, are you saying we should remove screen from oe-core and
put 4.3.1 into meta-oe, or did I misunderstand?


For what it's worth, I'm happy to remove 4.0.3 at least: if Debian
thought it required 19k lines of patching (in oldoldstable days!),
there could well be dragons there and I wasn't planning on spending
much time finding them.

Cheers,
Jussi
