I use testing on some Desktops, stable on others (but with codenames, so at release I stay with stable, and usually a year after or so I switch back to testing). > - get rid of experimental that would mostly become useless as PPA > would clearly be a superset of the features. but a slow merge-out, i.e. once PPA is working well, we can still get rid of experimental. > - make it easy to create new PPA repositories (aka "forks") for every > DD.

We could just prioritize PPA repositories - if there is not enough buildd power for all of them, only some will get built. > But really, let's focus on relieving the expensive scarce resource (aka > manpower, developers, maintainers) instead of adding burden on it for a > dubious claim that users want it.
