[...] the maintainer MUST NOT mark the ebuild stable without the
approval of the arch team.

If technical issues arise after an ebuild is stabilized automatically,
the arch team MAY revert the ebuild to ~arch if another ebuild with a
stable keyword is still available or restore the previous stable ebuild
to the tree if not, until such time that the issue is resolved, or
stabilize a later versioned ebuild that does not exhibit the issue at
the maintainer's approval.

The maintainer MUST NOT NEVER EVER NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT remove the
latest stable ebuild of an arch without the approval of the arch team or
he/she will be fed to the Galrog.
