<p>Hi,<br>
<br>
I don't have strong feelings about which version should the next
LTR. However, I think it would be important to have a clear
overview of the current blockers before making an informed
decision.<br>
<br>
Would it be possible to track all the blockers as github issues?
We could also add an "LTR blocker" label to make them easier to
identify and follow.<br>
<br>
I'm happy to help move this forward. However, I'm not sure what
the current blockers are, or whether some of them have already
been reported.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jean<br>
<br>

It's not what Nyall suggested.<br>
