10 But isn't exactly this an issue? You don't know which arch the package
11 maintainer is using and checking against a single arch doesn't work, because
12 a maintainer could mark it stable on his arch for some reason before the
13 package maintainer had done this? So the first arch maintainer goes ahead,
14 the next one thinks "oh, seems like the package maintainer marked it stable",
15 gets bitten and the package maintainer has to resolve resulting problems
16 (possibly including blame by users)?
