Well, they are listed there; but it's quite some work to actually go |
| 24 |
through that list, that is, manually check the bugs of ~2000 packages |
| 25 |
as well as file a STABLEREQ bug, takes quite a while... |

A single unimportant bug can prevent the automatic STABLEREQ bug from |

getting filed; as for imlate, not everyone seems to know that tool, not |

everyone seems to run it. Attention for some stabilizations is lost... |
