'Wait' is maybe the wrong word. I would try to do a call to arms to get
more people interested into getting this done. I had hoped that the TSC
would be more vocal about this, but we must do with the cards dealt.

And of course the number of people screaming for a stable branch is an
order of magnitude larger than the number of people that end up actually
supporting it.
