Hm. It's not entirely clear to me that this core reworking is suitable as an SRU. Particularly concerning is the NEWS file, the contents of which are basically “1.90.4: did a core rework” followed by 1.90.5, 1.90.6, and 1.90.7 being “oops, the last release was broken”.
At least 1.90.8 is introduced as: “It seems that we are finally reaching the end of the tunnel with regard to regressions” :).
It's not clear to me what the current state of fprintd is, and this would help with risk assessment. If fprintd is currently unusable, or largely so, then the large changes involved here are more acceptable. If fprintd works for a reasonable proportion of users, then the large changes here risk breaking them.
