11 Wearing only my perl team hat, it would seem to lowly me that if a
12 virtual points to packages foo and bar, and both foo and bar were tested
13 and marked stable by the arch's previously, that its silly to then wait
14 for them to mark the virtual stable as well, since at least in my
15 perception the only function of that virtual is to say use one of these
16 packages - which have already been marked stable.

18 /me hopes some arch brains step in, like weeve in particular, who is
19 usually far more eloquent at defending an arch's position
