Jan has passed, do you still intend to have bird3 in trixie? I'd like to
have it :-).

Keep the freeze policy in mind. My understanding is that starting
2025-04-15 (Soft freeze) no new source packages will be allowed to migrate
to testing:

d-release: It's not clear to me if we can get an exception for bird3 here?

I would assume we can't, upload 3.0.2 to unstable *now* and let it migrate
then we at least have a head start on the longer migration times come Soft
Freeze :-)
