12 Repeating that is a flashing experience for the minor arches users.

14 Stabilizing on minor arches this way feels more like a regression, than
15 that it is an improvement; the promise for a stable experience can't be
16 fulfilled like that. Searching for broken packages and/or versions and
17 masking them on the architecture in question could work out better; you
18 spare out time because you only monitor new versions in general, as
19 well as attempt to discover breakage instead of discovering stability.
