There are likely going to be some changes soon as to how -stable is
treated. However, I think you will not like the changes. Many people
are quite overworked, unable to proceed forward because they are being
pecked to death by whiny users, and are quite sick and tired of these
people who whine.
The solution will likely comprise some set of:
promise less, give less, and listen less.
