Right ... I was using "move" as shorthand for several different ideas,
including but not limited to the latest version of the code itself,
robust support for the code going forward, the primary supported way of
using pkg_*, etc. All of these ideas have been discussed in the past, so
I was hoping to avoid having to re-discuss them. :)

Great (and I saw Baptiste's response on this as well). Glad to hear that
we're on the same page about something at least. :)
