This is a fair assessment, and it's good to hear that there is some path
forward.
It looks like the Buster release date is Feb '19 (give or take), which
corresponds to Nautilus, so it should be possible for Debian users to skip
mimic and upgrade directly from luminous to nautilus as long as we build
some buster packages for luminous as well right around the end of its
lifetime (and/or mimic point releases once buster gets closer to stable).
Is this reasonable?
