I don't see how that would work. You can't remove older versions |

unless a newer one is stabilized, or you'd break the tree. |

One option I see is to limit the amount of packages with stable |
| 17 |
keywords to a select list, e.g. @system and closely related packages, |
| 18 |
and refuse stable keywords for GUI toolkits and their desktop reverse |
| 19 |
dependencies and the like. |

Ago is doing a fantastic job, but it would be good to lower his |
| 22 |
work-load and reduce the bus factor problem. |
