14 You must be new here. If we allow it, it'll be used. Not only will it
15 be used, but the users will expect us to support it. We are already
16 understaffed to support simple things like the stages and the minimal
17 images. Adding yet another set of stages that could much more easily be
18 broken due to lower QA just isn't something we have the ability to do,
19 even if we wanted to do it.
