Would it be possible to make the expiration times use not the wall clock time, but the timestamp of the repository if one is available? That would not only be more predictable (can expire on repository manipulations only), but also better suited for updating severely outdated systems. You can advance the repository state by 1 year and read the news items as they were at that time, not half of them expired and hidden. Denis Lisov.

Namely, redefine the current profile statuses to apply the following: a. stable -> fully tested, all depgraph breakages are errors, b. exp -> fully tested, all depgraph breakages are warnings, c. dev -> developer's playground, not tested. This would specifically mean that: 1. Any 'exp' profiles with serious breakage will temporarily be downgraded to 'dev'. 2. A 'dev' profile can be upgraded to 'exp' if its scale of depgraph breakage is reasonable (i.e. doesn't clutter the QA report with too many warnings). 3. A 'exp' profile can be upgraded to 'stable' only if it has no depgraph breakages. I don't have a strong opinion on whether we should pursue marking all profiles 'stable', or if we support keeping 'exp' indefinitely. The CI would be updated to test 'exp' profiles and report staging warnings appropriately. Repoman would be updated to have warning-class dependency.badinexp (like it has for .badindev right now) and to check exp profiles by default. Your thoughts? -- Best regards, Michał Górny
