What these packages need is more time to mature. The more disagreement
during review, the more time it takes for things to settle down.

The rushed submission and release of wvs-data has shown that the plan
is to release all this for FC-5, FC-6 and not just development.

To put it bluntly, the many comments to this ticket and the history of
the spec demonstrate that these packages are still subject to major
changes from one day to the other and that they have a fuzzy target
only. This is enough reason to believe that the heavy changes might
continue after approval.

Since the original submission, not just the soname has changed thrice.
>From an initial libtcd.so.21{.0.3} to libtcd.so.0{.0.0}, and now once
more. And interestingly, due to an upstream change. Hear, hear! This
is the proof that an uncoordinated library versioning scheme like this
is much too fragile.

It would be irresponsible to approve these packages. The veto situation
is unclear. Hence the only way to block this from entering FE is to not
approve all this for now.
