i think we've seen enough improvement/bugfixes in ~arch sandbox over current stable sandbox-1.6 and things have settled down. there are certainly a few bugs open that arent technically regressions with sandbox-1.6 to older versions, but are none the less causing problems for current stable packages.
i'm aiming sandbox-2.3 as the start of the new stable series, so i'd like people to really thrash on it. obviously if it turns out to be not-so-hawt, i'll do sandbox-2.4 and have it be the new stable candidate. yes, this is common sense, but explicitly stating it to avoid the tossers who might try and nitpick. -mike
