But both of suggested solutions will break the whole idea of stabling. |

Dropping packages to unstable on regular basis will annoy our users. |

If we have old stable package, it builds and works correctly in new |
| 10 |
environment(new gcc, glibc etc), then i do not see the point in rushing |
| 11 |
things up, unless there are some more critical things, that needs new |
| 12 |
version of this package. Stable should be reasonable. Each new version |
| 13 |
of package contains bugfixes, it is true. But we should note, that new |
| 14 |
versions(even so-called bugfix releases) can also bring new bugs. |
