I fail to see how proposing a more measured approach to testing security for two very problematic packages qualifies as stalling all development. Yes, it delays newer versions of those packages and their dependencies for a while, but I don't see how that is a real problem. The transition is still going to happen. Testing of those packages is still going to happen. A year is a very long time. I fail to see why two years must be viewed as a requirement. "Stall" is the wrong kind of framing since that connotes that some kind of catastrophe (plane crash) is about to happen.
