I'd support this strongly, both as Warner Losh, Committer and as
Warner Losh, Security Officer.  My current job uses -stable and needs
to have it be sane at "all"[*] times, or we waste a lot of effort
bringing in and backing out unstable versions (we do some sanity
testing before bringing a version in, but there's only so much you can
do).

I'd be able to work on this on an irregular basis depending on how
saturated I am at work.

[*] All == most of the time, maybe with a few short wiwndows from time
to time when we prove that humans are maintaining stable.
