recipes like openssl. I'd propose we should be doing this more widely.
I appreciate its hard for the stable maintainer to know which upstreams
focus on this. I therefore believe we should make a list of recipes
where this is acceptable, either in the policy/wiki or through recipe
markup or some other mechanism. I don't worry too much about the
mechanism, we can figure that out, I do believe we need to change our
"no upgrade" rule to be more adaptable.

I don't really have a strong opinion on the mechanics behind
documenting the behaviour, but how do we decide what upstreams have a
suitable stable release? We don't want to trust every upstream that
says they've a 'stable branch' until they can demonstrate that they
are competent at the job.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">
I would be inclined to go the other way. If a project says they're
doing a stable release mechanism, and then, well, aren't, we should
bring that up with the project and see what they mean by stable. Is
there an example here? If so, is it boost? </pre>

Boost is not an example. One commit does not set the standard or
norm for the project.<br>
I have seen this happen in the kernel too. <br>

Is the project going to be judged by one commit ?<br>
