And I think we should not create wrong, arbitary expectations
of current practice (like, do not upload code not known ready for
release into unstable), and sit back and expect other people to
change infrastructure.
Historical practice has been to only use Experimental for
unknown quality packages (like nightly CVS builds) if a stable
versions *of the same package* exists already. New packages go into
Sid. In this case, no emacs-cvs package exists; so it should go into
Sid, not experimental.
If you exoect Experimental to be autobuilt, please set up the
infrastructure, get it working, and then ask the ftp masters to
accept your set of maintained auto-builders as official providers
of packages for the other arches.
