This sounds like you didn't read my whole post.
Because I don't want to make updates going from "pending -> stable"
directly impossible, I just want it not to happen unless necessary,
because it drastically reduces the exposure of updates to broader user
testing.

Why should updates for "stable" releases receive less testing coverage
than those for a pre-release? That doesn't make any sense.
