4 The point is, that you can hardly measure, if a new version is less broken
5 than an older one, if you do not actively maintain a package. You can't know
6 which patches a package maintainer wants to apply, before marking an ebuild
7 stable. Exchanging a broken version with a slightly less broken is acceptable
8 for unstable stuff, not for stable ebuilds. You may not agree, but then you
9 have no sense for quality.
