(a) Solutions are more helpful than problems. (b) We try to avoid having the libraries abc_3 depends on stuck in unstable. (c) We try to avoid having abc_3 depend on libraries that're likely to get stuck. (d) We remove abc from testing. (e) abc_2 gets uploaded to w-p-u, depending on the libraries in testing.
