Let us instead hope someone picks it up, works through it and adapts it
so that it can go into 3.8 in pieces. Like I did with some of that stuff
(it neeeded work because bits rot). Anyway, what I mean is that things
don't magically "go into" 3.8. Things go in if someone works for it.

Anyway, as always I think "small steps" is the way to go. We have some
stewards/maintainers lined up and the first step is IMHO to get
PackageInfo instances into the image (using the stream) so that we can
clearly stakeout a few areas. Then we can continue using BFAV/update
stream to maintain those parts, but the difference is that we have
people assigned and responsible.

Small steps.
