I really don't understand why it is better to break the stable trees of 
$ARCH instead of just making them all ~ARCH. (ie. ~mips, ~x86-fbsd, 
etc). If the $ARCH doesn't have the manpower to do stable reqs then they 
don't have the manpower to fix broken stable trees either or do security 
bugs. So, IMHO, this proposal doesn't solve anything. With the key 
problem being that the 'slacker' arches can't keep up with the stable 
reqs and hence a large number of stale ebuilds and stale bugs being kept 
around.
