12 This doesn't make sense. If I have to trigger automatic stabilization, it
13 isn't automatic any more.
14
15 I think with an appropriate set of rules automatic stabilization would
16 be fine. For example:
17
18 - foo-2.0 has been in ~arch for 30 days
19 - there are no open bugs against foo-2.0
20 - an older version of foo is stable
21 - all of the dependencies of foo-2.0 are stable
22
23 If those conditions are met, in theory there shouldn't be any problem
24 with stabilizing foo-2.0.
25
26 If foo-2.0 is not a stabilization candidate, there probably should be an
27 open bug in bugzilla stating why it isn't.

29 Thanks,
