18 Another thing that strikes me is separation of stable vs ~arch behavior.

20 This applies in particular with in-place eclass alterations. Users on
21 ~arch should normally expect more activity (in particular number of
22 builds and changes, that is after all its definition). Stable users on
23 the other hand might want slower update cycle for non-security upgrades.

25 Reading this thread I got hit with a question whether this boundary is
26 properly protected if doing in-place eclass changes?
