I vote we fix this problem. I'm tired of having this same discussion
ever 6 or 12 months. I'd like to see less policy discussion and more
technical solutions to the problems we face.

I propose calling for volunteers to create a new project that works on
solving our stabilization problem. I see that looking like the following:

1) project identifies the problem(s) with real data from Bugzilla and
the portage tree.

2) new project defines a technical proposal to fixing this issue, then
presents it to the developer community for feedback. This would include
defining tools needed or used

3) start working on solution + define future roadmap


All processes and policies should be on the table for negotiating in the
potential solution. If we need to reinvent the wheel, then let's do it.

To be honest, adding more policy just ends up making everyone unhappy
one way or the other.
