 Hi, 
  
 in my packaging work, I rarely, if all upload packages to NEW that have 
 unsatisfied dependencies or are not installable. Otherwise I upload to 
 experimental. Likewise, no one on the Debian rust is *deliberately* 
 destabilizing Debian unstable. If packages become uninstallable this is 
 because of human error. We are all volunteers here (at least I am). 
 Single team members might have involuntarily b0rked packages before (I 
 certainly have at one point), but this has been usually remedied quick. 
  
 If we want to have it enshrined in policy that we should *only* upload 
 NEW packages to experimental, I suggest moving this to -project.

 This is not fair, and you know it. Many teams use an alioth mail as 
 Maintainer: and their -lists mail for discussions. It's not uncommon 
 that contributors in teams are not subscribed to the former.
