A QA period where nothing but bugfixing is done is a great idea; maybe |
| 15 |
even a week-long package freeze on a regular basis. |

|

By being regular about fixing issues and doing QA checking on packages |
| 18 |
we can do a lot of catchup. |

This may also tie into the stable/unstable branch idea. A time-period in |
| 21 |
which ebuild maintainers can move their packages into stable may prove |
| 22 |
more efficient than dedicating a QA team to this task. |
