11 If you can call it a discussion, given it's much less important than whether people will be able to theoretically freely reply to threads such as that.

13 It's also on the agenda, so I'm adding patches.

24 Please point me to one bit of documentation that says that 'dev' is better than 'exp' because I haven't been able to find any. Well, except the fact that PMS lists 'stable' and 'dev' as example statuses, and doesn't list 'exp' at all.
25
26 That said, repoman currently treats failures in exp as errors, while in dev as warnings. This makes me believe 'exp' was considered higher.
27
28 Furthermore, the switch for -e is boolean, while -d is unary. So we can enable testing exp by default without having to change usage of repoman.
