This is a proposal to reduce the number of bugs on the main archive and to allow for a cleaner transition on package maintainership and version control. 1> All completely new packages are required to go into experimental for no less than 30 days as a trial period. 2> All new maintainers must put their packages into experimental for no less than 30 days as a trial period. 3> All packages which change maintainers will be put into experimental for a 30 day trial period 4> When a packages is orphaned, it stays in the main archive for 30 days If no one has adopted it within this period, it will be removed from the Archive. 5> ALL essential or required packages will go into experimental for testing for 30 days before allowed in the archive 6> All sponsored packages will be put into experimental for a trial period of no less than 30 days The trial period is reset if anything greater than a normal bug is placed upon the experimental package. The only exception to any of these rules is a critical bug on the original package already in the archive. This tentative proposal will be dropped completely if a package pool proposal is made with an implementation and documentation. Frank aka Myth
