 Does the release team have an idea of when we will be able to do this 
 transition? 
  
 Unfortunately, some of the changes that were made in GLib-related 
 packages in preparation for this transition have caused regressions: 
 GioUnix objects exposed by pygobject do not accept the appropriate 
 arguments for their methods, causing a functional regression in at least 
 gnome-tweaks 
 (). This 
 has caused several contributors to propose well-intentioned but wrong 
 patches for gnome-tweaks that would make it regress (again) after the 
 GLib 2.86 transition goes through, and I'm concerned that similar 
 patches might already have been applied in other packages without us 
 noticing. 
  
 One way to resolve this would be to do the GLib 2.86 transition, breaking 
 rebuilds of glib-d (which is depended on by one leaf package, 
 appstream-generator) but fixing the runtime regression in pygobject. 
  
 Another way to resolve this would be to revise the pygobject patches so 
 that their effect is only applied when GLib is >= 2.86, or to revert 
 them for now and then reapply them (with versioned Breaks) when we do 
 this transition. But it seems unnecessary to do that (waste of time + 
 risk of regressions) if this transition is imminent anyway... 
  
 Thanks,
