I think this another case of the "purpose" vs. "installed-by-default"
confusion. I can see Corinna's pov: "Since new packages are not
installed by default, then we can just add 'foo' as a normal release,
and folks can test it..."
But Robert is right -- it's new, it's (relatively) untested; it needs to
be a test release. Let's not talk about the restructured auto*
packages...
