14 Oh, one more thing that I've forgot to mention in the original mail.
15 It'd probably be useful to solve two disjoint problems:
16
17 a. whether CI should enforce correct depgraph and how,
18
19 b. whether we should request stabilizing packages.
20
21 i.e. we need to be able to express differently the two possible
22 scenarios:
23
24 1. stable depgraph is broken but we want to fix it (i.e. should CC
25 the arch on stablereqs),
26
27 2. stable depgraph is broken and we don't care (i.e. we don't CC
28 the arch and drop old stable versions if necessary).
