I sure hope no DDs have such sloppy standards for their work that they would
upload such crap to unstable knowlingly. Note that transitory dependency

If you are going to violate a _should_ forever, you better be able to
provide a full, acceptable technical explanation for your reasons. And for
the sake of team work, that also means tagging a bug about the issue as
wontfix, and adding the explanation to the bug logs.
