Neither. It means that I'll bring up the issue during the next meeting
and ask the other FPC members to reconsider the bundling exception, given
that two out of three upstreams are receptive to the idea of making rawspeed
a shared library. I'll recommend a two-release temporary exception.

Could somebody contact rawstudio upstream about this as well?
