Sorry, but I don't see this: gdl does not *break* hdf5 ("break" means IMO that a package that worked before does not work anymore -- but hdf5 still works nicely, right?), and it also does not block the transition.
As far as I know, CI tests are currently setup in a non-blocking way. And when I look into the maintainer page of hdf5, it says "Required age increased by 30 days because of autopkgtest". This is not a block, this is just a delay. There never was a statement that failing CI tests are RC (or would become so before buster). So, you you please be a bit more explicit how the RC policy applies here? Best regards Ole
