But that model breaks down for a lot of situations. I don't want to
encourage people to just slam-bam commit everything into -stable that
goes into -current since it's:
A) inappropriate in a number of cases (there are quite a few
things which will NEVER be merged to -stable and should not be)
B) not something which should happen until something has been
TESTED in -current first.
Merging has to happen, yes, but in only a structured way which has
committers willing to make notes to themselves about committing things
into -stable after a suitable grace period and/or only when it's
clearly suitable to -stable.
