Please users stop abusing of the out-of-date option.

What you SHOULDN'T do:

• report as out-of-date a package when a beta or a RC is out
• report as out-of-date a package which conflicts
• report as out-of-date a package which doesn't build
• report as out-of-date a package which is broken
• report as out-of-date a package when the mirror you use is out-of-date
• and my favorite, report as out-of-date a package which WORKS like

this one at the bottom of this mail

What you SHOULD do:

• report as out-of-date a package when a *stable* release of that package

is out

Thanks.

Wouldn't it be better to put this in the confirmation page that you get when you click "Flag package out of date"?
