12 Stuff with high impact better be masked for initial testing, such as new
13 versions of gcc, glibc and other parts of toolchain and build system,
14 and other similar things affecting other packages than itself. ~arch is
15 in my eyes something that updates shouldn't break vastly - a stable
16 candidate.
17 Of course when that initial testing is done with helping users, the
18 reason could be modified to tell things broke and what the tracking bug
19 is, or unmasked if it works fine with other packages.
