23 Michael,

25 for a virtual pointing to packages foo and bar, only one of them needs
26 to be stable before the virtual can be marked as stable, right?
27 So your above comment should read "if a virtual points to packages foo
28 and bar, and [either foo or bar was] tested and marked stable by the
29 arch's previously, that its silly to then wait for them to mark the
30 virtual stable as well", right?
