With the recent harness refactoring, we can trivially reschedule a complete recheck of all packages[1]. If we were to do "injected" tags as "experimental" ones, there will probably not be a major issue if they appeared on the resulting website. * What really remains, is a good infrastructure to pull extra checks on lindsay.d.o. ~Niels [1]: rm -f harness-state/state-cache -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
