I am confused by above posts from folks I thought took lead with regards 
to PureOS.

Is it still an open question _if_ we want PureOS green to track Debian 
Buster, and that is what we discuss in this email thread?

Or is that already decided and instead the topic now is _how_ (leading 
to _when_ it is adequately done that it can be announced)?


Those seems very different email topics to me.
