Yes. Package maintainers should "resolve" the issue, then the image
maintainers close them on inclusion.

Good. And keep in mind that the next step for making IO a success
would have been to harvest 2-3 trivial things and then merge with
the image. If that would have been done in that fateful week of activity
in January, everybody would have deemed the Networt package a success...
("I works, but people have not to much time").

The real killer was over-commitment: "We need to at least rewrite  
Networking
completely before we can suggest it to be merged into the image". No.  
One step
at a time: Simple fix, release. repeat. When that's working, then  
think about
changing the world.
