The point I'm trying to make is that there was no "official decision" here; it
was more like Vincent said during a discussion on the state of staging that
he'd been trying to move staging patches into upstream and that everyone else
should too.

Extended radio silence from the Staging folks is not ideal, of course, but it's
understandable, especially if they were in some degree of uncertainty
themselves as to whether they could continue maintaining the project.
