True for unstable, not for experimental, Because stuff uploading to experimental can cause a transition if uploaded to unstable, yes - for *jessie*. Of course if mallicous or careless maintainers uploaded to unstable.. *shrugs* > behind the delay, and we offered to accept packages targeted to > experimental instead.

Some were stuck there and gor rejedted after 2 months. That specific exmple was needed to make a transition which *will* happen in jessie _less painless_. And this isn't a explanation for *completely new*, (and thus no r-deps, thus no transition) packages.
