True.

But that'd lead to a number of mistune's embedded copies in a huge number of packages; since majority of
the rev-deps (when I last checked) haven't adapted to this new version. When they do,
and it becomes a overhead to fix each one later.
Even worse, if we discover a security problem sometime later, then all such packages would be
effected, and that honestly does not look like a good idea to me.

I somehow do not understand the urgency of uploading this newer version, as the maintainer said:

| 15th and April the 15th (depending on the progress of its
| reverse-dependencies).

We could simply wait a little more for the dust to settle, IMHO.

Nilesh
