those big projects are really much appreciated by the community. <br>
Nevertheless there must not be a mutual exclusive situation, as other <br>
contributors are working on other things which are also appreciated by <br>
the same community.<br>
<br>
So how to proceed? Stop all my work for many more months? Looking at the <br>
number and status of all those large projects I doubt that this <br>
situation will change drastically before end of 2025.<br>
<br>
We need to find a way that allows external contributors like me to <br>
proceed, though.<br>
<br>
If we haven't enough reviewers / commiters for both, we simply need to <br>
nominate more.<br>
