Huh? That was not my point at all! Please reread what I actually wrote! You
are arguing against a strawman.

This is pretty much a non-issue. Mirroring delays are measured in hours at
most.

That doesn't happen if the push to stable is requested by the maintainer for
all releases at once (starting from the newest, in case you're worried about
the push happening right in the few seconds between the requests for n and
n+1 coming in). In fact that's the whole reason why I think we should
consider testing together for all releases and not separately for each (the
latter being what you proposed in a different thread).
