Hmm, I'm wondering if that has an actual use or whether that would just
move the problem. The bug in question that WilliamH demonstrated is
indeed part of @system; but shouldn't be, it is due to functions.sh.

So, assuming OpenRC wouldn't have been part of it, as it should be; this
suggestion wouldn't change WilliamH's problem. Then comes the question
whether we expand on all options in the virtuals, dependencies that
come in through certain USE flags of @system; as well as the
important libraries that aren't necessarily part of @system.

Though on the other hand, what would be the point of prioritizing
stabilization of important libraries if the applications are way too
long detailed? Maybe it could improve their workflow of picking bugs a
bit, dunno; I guess arch teams can shed some light on this last part.

Given that I think that we want more than just @system in the future,
but those other things wouldn't be as important as @system and thus
need a different way of being marked; I think we should rather pick
"blocker" for @system packages. Then it still leaves us "critical" and
"major" available for packages that are in between being the
most and least important.

Though as said, I think this would make only certain people happy; the
question is to whereas how unhappy the other people would be, I can't
really comment on this because of completely using unstable here.
