I'm not involved in this project anyway; If this is going forward, I
don't mind co-maintaining a few packages, I would prefer the indicator
stack as it's the components I know better. Either way my
interventions were not meant to promote this initiative or to bash it.
I've only tried to share a few issues I found in the past, though I'm
willing to help co-maintaining a 'few' packages, not the whole stack,
I don't have time for it.
