Luckily, you're not making the call. ;]
The "majority" of packages are also the ones that need more extensive
testing. Sure, we could probably stabilize a bunch of the fringe
packages that hardly anyone uses and it wouldn't affect anything.
That's actually how I read the first email, was that it's really the
majority of the _minor_ packages that get completely neglected, and just
sits in the tree for months or years marked unstable because nobody
cares. The people that use it have marked it ~arch a long time ago in
their package.keywords because they know it works just fine.
THAT stuff I wouldn't mind going through and just bumping to stable
myself. They don't need extensive testing, they don't need patches,
they work, and have been working, and just need arches flagged and
versions bumped.
But, nobody likes doing the small stuff, and I can't blame them.
