Because an older package is stable, we are somehow forced to continue |
| 11 |
stabling newer packages if requested either via a stabling request or |
| 12 |
security issue. In the first case we have to stable to allow older |
| 13 |
ebuilds to be cleaned up, in the second we have to table in order to |
| 14 |
take advantage of the security advisory. |

See the "Ruby issue" email for how to deal with packages that obviously |
| 16 |
noone knows what to do with. |

You haven't, it was in my initial proposal. You trigger me to put this |
| 21 |
somewhere on the web for reference. |

Ah :) Good luck. I'd be pleased if you could take the time (somewhere |
| 27 |
this weekend perhaps?) to look into the bugs and stable the versions |
| 28 |
they ask for. |
