The opinions of most of the people in this thread are not directly
relevant anyway.  The maintainer gets to decide when to file a
stablereq bug for their package and the arch teams to get to decide
whether to mark something stable on their arch or not.  So someone
just make a decision and move forward; we will never reach consensus
here (and we should not be trying to reach one anyway.)
