Besides the points you mentioned, it would create a lot of bug
spam. There would be the "a new bug depends on this bug" e-mail when
the AT files the bug, then there would be the "a bug that depends on this
bug has changed state" e-mail when the arch dev closes the AT's
bug, and then there would be the e-mail from the arch dev when he/she
comments on the original bug saying "arch-xyz stable"
