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
Here we go again. Before regulating everything to dead, first please try to
objectively measure that which you are trying to regulate, then analyze those
objective measurements, deducting whats working well and what isn't and then
try to steer things, using little adjustments so that what isn't working well
becomes better without causing regressions all over the place.
More to the point, the last couple of releases extras updates and even extras
rolling release model have been causing not all that many upgrade issues /
pains. Yes there are things to improve, like not allowing updates which will
result in broken dep chains. But overall extras didn't do all that bad. Most of
time there is an update which causes all kinda troubles its a former core
update and not a former extras update.

Hans (who has queued only 2 updates on 125+ packages, since F-7 release).
