Hi Paul, though I'm not the 'you', I will give my statement here. Long time ago I thougth about having an unstable/stable and mature kind of flag here. The point is, that sometimes changes from ~arch to arch occur and a short time later a return to ~arch is needed because the responsible dev overlooked a point which became clear by the community. A jump from for example 'x86' to 'stable:x86' (which could also be denoted as !x68) should only occur if it 'seems' to be testet from the community for at least some days! I hope you did get my point, if not, get back to me :-) take care, have fun /christian EDDK
