The fact that an AT may or may not do his job properly does not mean |
| 26 |
that we should delegate the problem to the maintainer. I am not saying |
| 27 |
that the maintainer should not test his packages. But when it comes to |
| 28 |
stabilizations it's the job of ATs and Arch developers to decide what |
| 29 |
does and what doesn't belong to the stable tree. |
