Well, since testing is frozen 5.7.2 will not get into testing. It will stay
in unstable.

The problem is: those are valid reasons but are not the set of reasons why a
package is blocked and allowed into testing.

We can try to get the release managers and describe them carefully the
reasons and they might block it, but that's not something we can be certain
of.

What we should do, if the version in testing cannot be supported and we
cannot get ovaldi unblocked, is to request its removal from testing (so it is
not part of the official release).

If you want, you can draft the email for the release managers and sent it to
me for review.
