Hi again, I agree with this ad-hoc policy, and only did the update because a flaky patch can't do as much damage as a flaky openssh, for example. In any case, I'm happy enough to only make packages with robust version tags in the future (see my comment in vc.openssl.)
Unfortunately, sometimes it isn't as black and white. Nmap declares its beta release more robust than any other release, for example. I think that is why we use the beta with OpenPKG.
