10 I would really really *really* appreciated if our beloved arch testers ( at least for linux amd64/x86
11 because they are the first who stabilize a package ) make this default
12 on their build boxes. It is annoying to mark a package stable when it has
13 *clear* QA problems.
14 Please make your build box stricter on QA rules and don't
15 mark a package stable that easy. Marking a package stable with multiple QA
16 warnings, is forcing QA team to either fix a *stable* package, which is
17 violating the policy, or doing some useless revbumps to fix QA issues which shouldn't be there if arch testers did
18 actual testing at the first place
