This used-to-be-reality-and-now-is-a-myth idea is self perpetuating.
If people are allowed to put stuff into -stable without at least a
couple of weeks in -current, not only will the code definitely not be
run by -current users, but it will encourage the FreeBSD developer
base to simply run -stable because it causes less local problems.
I'm not aiming this gripe at you Peter, but please don't spread the
myth that it's ok to put stuff in -stable that hasn't had any
shaking-out in -current 8*P
