True, this brings up two questions:
1. How do we filter out those that were never stabilized?
I don't see any option, perhaps imlate could use that improvement.
2. How much of those actually don't need stabilization? How much do?
Someone said to me once "everything in ~arch is a candidate for
stabilisation. if it should never be stabilised, it shouldn't be in the
tree."
I'm not sure if I agree with that statement or not, but I suspect most
things in the tree that have never been stabilised are that way simply
because nobody every asked. There really is a large number of packages
just rotting in ~arch though.
