5 Of course, there are bugs in every version. Sometimes a user must be
6 able to choose which bug is more problematic, i.e. the bug in the
7 newer ebuild which makes the package unusable for them or the older
8 bug which has a security issue the users are aware of but not
9 present, i.e. prevented by firewall. A timeline of two weeks would
10 allow the user to easily downgrade and if necessary put the ebuild in
11 overlay.
