general-concepts/ebuild-revisions: mention balancing examples against stable Explicitly say that even 'no revision bump' examples should be balanced against whether a stable ebuild is being modified, as we want to minimize any risk of regressions there. i.e. It might be that a change would not need a revbump for an ~arch-only ebuild, but if the ebuild is stable, the principle of being conservative ofr stable would mean a revbump is warranted.
