This is flawed.
It's reasonable to do such things in experimental, and it's reasonable
to treat unstable as a surrogate for experimental for a short time after
the release of stable, but in the general case this is the wrong approach.
This is very much the wrong aproach when we're nearing freeze.
And, "fix the right problem" higher priority.
