+I would like to join this discussion. it's not very motivatingif you work on a 
+package (you are the owner) and then someone is going to upgrade it. We have a 
+lot of packages unmaintained and we do not have the resources for different 
+packagers doing the same work.
+
+I guess, the kde upgrade  now has to be completed because it broke the caulron 
+boxes. 
+I know  kamil has worked on upgrading boost and this morning I saw it pushed 
+by someone else.
+We all need help once in a while, maybe asking the maintainer would help?
