10 When you do nothing then things are bound to get worse, under the
11 assumption that manpower doesn't change as well as the assumption that
12 the queue fills faster than stabilization bugs get added to it.
13
14 As a result of this, stable will eventually become broken. It is up to
15 you as well as us whether to consider it to be broken right now. Will
16 it be in a month from now? What about in a year?
17
18 Will we wait for hell? Or try to prepare and/or fix it now?
19
20 Maybe there are other options if these can be deemed as being worse.
