[gentoo-dev] OpenRC stable pushes

I want to explain about the recent openrc's going directly to stable.

The team had been testing from the previous stable, 0.9.x series all the
way through 0.10.x. We found out recently that releng needed the new
openrc stable because of the cds/isos being broken.

There hadn't been bugs reported, so we started attempting to stabilize
0.11.5 so that we could have a stable newer OpenRC for releng.

When we started stabling, more regressions came up, so we had to  fix
those. That is why you are seeing several versions go to stable
directly on some arch's arch's.

wrt 0.11.7, a couple of developers looked over the patches with me and
we did not see issues. 0.11.8 will be the very last one of these to go
stable. Please bear with me on this.

Thanks,

William

Ok, this is the last update. 0.11.8 fixes the issue in 0.11.7, so you
should not see any more quick pushes to stable. I take full
responsibility for the issue in 0.11.7, and will work with the OpenRC
team and QA to catch issues like this better in the future. Thanks for
your patience.

Yes, these should be gone with 0.11.8.
