Exactly, the common case for stabilization bugs is that stabilization |
| 11 |
just happens; as far as I have seen, it is rather rare that another |
| 12 |
bug blocks the stabilization bug. At least this is the case for the |
| 13 |
common package; as for important bugs, which should be treated with |
| 14 |
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 |
| 17 |
stable oneself on a non-important package should be acceptable, it |
| 18 |
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 |
| 21 |
bug; which ironically even happens occasionally for stable packages. |
