    Hi,

    Here is one final update as the freeze is about to start.

    * First and foremost, I consider the transition as over, since there
    are no more packages left that are actionable by me nor is there
    any pending reason to revert the change.


    * Only three known issues remain as affecting testing. These
    are d-i, shim, and the shim arm64 helper. As stated before,
    in all three cases, the maintainer and agreed they would fix
    on their own, since these packages have non-trivial circumstances
    where a "careless" NMU would harm more than help.

    Thanks for checking with us on the shim front - it's really
    appreciated. The new upstream release I promised is due any day now -
    I'm doing some testing with 16.0 RC1 already.
