Hi folks,

      This has been in poudriere since May 2021 according to [1], and is
      currently usable if you install poudriere-devel.

      Also, can I appeal to everyone's better nature, and ask not to +1
      if there's nothing else to add. This is a call for proposals, if
      there's any voting to be done it will surely not be done via
      mailing lists. :)

Yours hopefully,
Daniel Ebdrup Jensen
