11 We could split up [Keywording and Stabilization] into separate
12 components, [Keywording] and [Stabilization], but then
13
14 1) people would still forget to set it, at whatever stage, and
15 2) this wouldn't fit with [Security]/[Vulnerabilities].

17 It's important to be able to distinguish between STABLEREQ and
18 KEYWORDREQ. I think a KEYWORDREQ should normally be handled earlier than
19 any STABLEREQ /unless/ the STABLEREQ fixes a security bug, since
20 being late getting keywords back up to par with other architectures
21 tends to make an even bigger mess further on.
22
23 Alternatively, we could set CONFIRMED or IN_PROGRESS when a) the
24 Component is [Keywording and Stabilization] and b) arch teams are
25 CC'd, but then everyone would forget to set that half the time, too.
