So how 'bout this idea: A new section, possibly entitled > "volatile". Packages in this section declare that they may change, but I would suggest making it a new release, alongside stable, which can store packages expected to change regularly but always built against stable (and possibly other "volatile" packages. Having no idea how the backend archive actually works, I don't know whether this is practical (especially once you consider the whole autobuilder mess) but it's certainly a possibility, and would be a natural compliment to the existing suites. - Matt
