Thanks mike. I didn't mean to criticise anyone, I just mean that the root problem here is -stable isn't always stable. Although adding another tag would provide another buffer layer, I personally feel it's missing the point. Somewhere, someone has to approve moving things from -current to -stable, and figuring out how to better equip those people is what I think would bring about the best situation. I definately think life is easyer when you rebuild the system every month or 2 on a reasonable schedual instead of letting changes accumulate until it becomes a day long affair.
