That is the reason for me thinking that maybe the way to go would be to do the opposite -> keep only base-system and a few others stable and drop stable for most of the rest. This big effort could be accomplished in a week by other developers willing to help (like me) and would solve the issue for the long term. I guess that is what HPPA team did in the past and I think it's working pretty well for them (in summary, have a stable tree they are able to keep stable). That will also help people in ppc* teams to know that the remaining stabilization bugs, apart of being much less, are important enough to deserve rapid attention, as opposed to current situation that will have some important bugs mixed with tons of stabilization requests of apps that got ppc stable keywords years ago and are currently no so important.
Yes, please let's just do base system stable. I've been randomly taking care of ppc but nothing systematic. Its pretty spotty. But at the same time I don't like the idea of just loosing all the stabilization effort on the base system, so that might work best. Something to think about for mips too.
