pending updates that force us to another major rebuild session due to a so bump are:

heimdal - 15-20 (no old todo list so far) db - 30-40 rebuilds (old todo list is broken after repo shuffle in django)

i have a major cups and ghostscript update pending. new cups depends on heimdal.

other updates that _might_ have so bumps or forces us to rebuilds: - icu (means OOo) - libgphoto2 - flac

a few other important updates are also pending: hplip, eclipse and some more.

afaik Xorg and Gnome in testing shouldn't be a big problem. they shouldn't hold us back to start the db/heimdal bumps. we should just decide on which architecture we will go in front with the bumps. i vote for x86_64. 64bit devs can also do some i686 rebuilds if needed.

if we find useless packages while rebuilding we should do a minor pkg cleanup.

anything that holds us back?
