Someone screwed up. Our x86 arch lead is going to hit them with a lead |
| 16 |
pipe. You shouldn't encounter forced downgrades in stable unless |
| 17 |
something really icky happens. You shouldn't encounter forced |
| 18 |
downgrades in ~arch unless someone commits a version that works for |
| 19 |
them and it later turns out that it's seriously broken (eg bash-3.1). |
