26 The slack ebuild might go stable, but the zoom one seems to change too
27 often to last 30 days before an update, so stable seems unlikely. At
28 least I don't think either of them pulls in many (or even any) other
29 unstable packages.

32 difficult to deal with, but that is no longer the case, so hopefully
