1. I really hope that we are able to release more often in future.
Releasing only every four years is a dead end.

People have been saying that since I joined the project, if not earlier. :)

2. Please see "exception" below: Of course, if the maintainer
considers his own package unfit for release because upstream is not
stable enough, than this is ok. But - if the package was removed from
testing because of FTBFS, and just didn't manage to re-enter, because
this bug is still open, than the package really qualifies for removal
/ orphaning.

OK, that sounds reasonable.
