I don't think the maintenance is a concern, we only have to ensure it 
keeps building in sid. It's just to compile stuff in sid, not to run 
critical production systems.

I don't mind for Scala, but Kotlin can't be ignored unfortunately. Its 
integration into Gradle makes it an essential part of the Java ecosystem.
