If something=20 is unstable it must be masked. If we however want to test our packaging=20 we put it in ~arch. If something is in ~arch that means that it works for=20 the packager, but that your mileage may vary. ~arch may sometimes have=20 unexpected problems, especially involving migration from old versions to=20 new versions. Actually most time is spent on ~arch, as there is where=20 development happens. As a package is seen to be stable, then it gets=20 promoted to arch. This is just a change of the keyword. The developer=20 then goes on to newer versions of the package.
