Exactly, the common case for stabilization bugs is that stabilization just happens; as far as I have seen, it is rather rare that another bug blocks the stabilization bug. At least this is the case for the common package; as for important bugs, which should be treated with more care, it is more common for these blocking bugs to get filed. If the arch hasn't responded for X months; then marking a version stable oneself on a non-important package should be acceptable, it doesn't yield any huge problem afaik and isn't that much different. And for that occasional mis-guess, *boohoo*, the user can just file a bug; which ironically even happens occasionally for stable packages. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : [email protected] GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
