5 Yep, waiting on approval from the arch teams before going stable. I'll be
6 posting a notification here when it happens as well. While waiting on the
7 arch teams has extended the ~arch time of .53_preX, they've also exposed
8 regressions that wouldn't have been picked up otherwise. Other than
9 documentation concerns, they seem happy with .53 as it stands and I really
10 don't want to jeopardize (that's a weird lookin' word) that.

12 How's this for a compromise? Release the current 2.0.53 into stable so that
13 2.0.51.22-r3 can be dropped out of the picture altogether. Then release a
14 2.0.53.1 into ~arch with the lib handling fix so that we can get some
15 guaranteed testing time of the patch. In a table:
16
17 2.0.53 arch
18 2.0.53_p1 ~arch
19 2.0.54_pre1 package.mask
20
21 After a couple of weeks, move 2.0.53_p1 to stable and drop 2.0.53.
