Agreed.

Removal from testing involves filing a bugreport to ftpmaster.  I guess 
it makes sense if at all uncertain to first file bugreport against the 
package and cc this list - of not-to-high severity - suggesting the 
intent (removal from stretch or removal from Debian completely) some 
time (2 weeks?) before reasigning to ftpmaster.

Discussing only here is not adequate: Being part of this team and
