Sorry it took so long, but my PhD is very good at keeping me busy.
Anyway, I have now updated all packages to 10.0.0. All 9 build, 3 (core,
conch and words) required some minor tweaks apart from updating version
and release fields.
How do we proceed from here? I would suggest building for F-13 testing,
and then asking maintainers of dependent packages (by mass mail or
bugzilla) to test if their package is still working as expected. What do
you think?
