Who are we waiting for, for a response?

Also, we brought this up in the maintainers meeting, and we needed to
conclude one way or another, and chose the current mechanism.

Considering RC0 is tomorrow, I would like to make it happen, and with
that in mind, can the decision of separate package or a sub-package be
made later (say even after the 4.0.0 release)?
