No. IMO it is better to just drop that term. Ultimately maintainers decide what gets stabilized, subject to the general rule of 30 days in ~arch and no major bugs. If the games team is maintaining a package then they can decide not to have stable keywords. Note that not all games are necessarily maintained by the games team, and this news item doesn't really make that clear. Individual maintainers are generally not bound to decisions made by the games team, or at least that was the last council decision I recall on the subject. -- Rich
