Sounds good to me.

Sounds good to me.

Note that both of these require a change to the autobuilders.  If the
unstable builder is wired to ignore anything targetted for "stable"
or "frozen" and the stable builder is wired to export its changes to
unstable, then the "stable unstable" target is equivalent to "stable"
[we can update policy, for neatness, of course].
