I think this has all been gone over in a list post previously, but it seems like the most straightforward solution here is flags in metadata where individual packages can be flagged for auto-stabilization. In the beginning the system would be opt-in. Then once we have confidence that it is working well the flag could potentially be made opt-out. Maybe initially for testing you could keep the whitelist outside of the repository, but then you need to make it straightforward for maintainers to have their packages added to the whitelist if they wish. Long-term if this becomes the standard workflow it would make sense for the flags to go inside the repository. -- Rich
