OK.
 
> Consequences: I don't believe there are any negative consequences for the other packages. jalview, biojava3-live, biojava4-live are *already* scheduled to be removed on Jan 9. In fact uploading Jmol would reset this date to be further in the future, since it would close the RC bug that is causing this schedule. (Someone might then file FTBFS directly against these other packages, since they don't build against this new Jmol, but the counter would also be reset in that case.) There is a slight chance that I'm wrong about some/all of this, since I'm not *exactly* familiar with the release process, but this is based on what I understand from reading their documents and doing packaging for a few years.

I hope we can keep biojava4-live and upgrading jalview would be great
but probably having sagemath is more important and we can work on
backporting jalview later.

Thanks for your effort
