Ok. Here is my small input. I've been around arch teams and testing for a long time. And i'm mainly taking care of system-important packages. In my opinion the main problem is.. people. Now we have lack of manpower as usual. So i think, we have to drop stable packages for some so-called "fun packages". I've noticed for example, that gimp has stable alpha keyword. Have you ever run gimp on alpha servers? I am sure, there are more stable-unneeded packages like games, maybe some programming languages, and so on for others non-mainstream arches.
