13 Well, if running mips actually causes more breakage than running ~mips
14 and if it is unlikely that this will change soon, then the stable
15 keyword is not just useless, but misleading. In this case, just dropping
16 it seems the most sensible solution.

18 Thus it all comes down to a question for mips users/developers: Is mips
19 any longer more stable than ~mips? Any opinions?
