IMHO the STABLE & CURRENT branches are becoming way too close to being the same thing. In the past the openpkg srpms would have never been upgraded in the stable branch as fast as they are now. Here are a couple of examples:

tar 1.16 was released on 10/21; on 10/22 (one day later) both openpkg-stable & tar-stable are upgraded which is killing my AIX builds.

binutils 2.17 had one user complain about not building (works fine for me BTW). Now (again one day later) binutils-stable is upgraded.

I thought these upgrades/fixes were what the CURRENT branch was all about. I've made many posts about packages needing AIX-specific changes that used to be placed in CURRENT for a long time before the STABLE release was changed.

Please reconsider how fast the STABLE rpm's are upgraded. It's getting next-to-impossible to keep up.
