This is one thing I suspect is being lost in all the talk about trust
and freedom. Maintainer's freedom doesn't mean much if there is a
avalanche of updates where updates-testing time can be reduced or
skipped any time and where every update increases the chances of
breaking stuff
Anyone wants to write a policy on updates?
