The only issue with that logic is that upstream is perfectly aware of
what they're doing already, and bugs are likely to be closed as
WONTFIX. So, all the QA checks would do is ensure that we slowly
start maintaining forks of more and more packages. Right now the
problem is probably manageable, but I'm not convinced it will stay
that way. Once upstream developers consider all constraints to be
removed on their dependencies you could see a lot of stuff getting
pulled into root if you tried to enforce this rule.
In any case, it sounds like the directive is to keep limping along for
a while longer, and that makes sense anyway until docs/etc are
improved. I agree with Ralph's suggestion that the newer initramfs
tools should be stabilized as well.
