I hope you understand why. I don't see that it's possible to that right now. Let's say that package X is a fairly new package with some pretty serious bugs. (It basically doesn't work.) Under the current structure, we have unstable, frozen, and stable. A broken package doesn't belong in stable, obviously, and we should kick it out of frozen if it doesn't look like it's fixable before release. But now you want to throw it out of unstable as well? We just don't have a mechanism for doing that. If you want to make a proposal, great. But I don't think that's something we can do this freeze. Mike Stone
