Exactly, the common case for stabilization bugs is that stabilization
just happens; as far as I have seen, it is rather rare that another
bug blocks the stabilization bug. At least this is the case for the
common package; as for important bugs, which should be treated with
more care, it is more common for these blocking bugs to get filed.
If the arch hasn't responded for X months; then marking a version
stable oneself on a non-important package should be acceptable, it
doesn't yield any huge problem afaik and isn't that much different.
And for that occasional mis-guess, *boohoo*, the user can just file a
bug; which ironically even happens occasionally for stable packages.
