Latest Stable versions of packages as a criteria seems perhaps a little thin.

In addition I would suggest no package in that repo can require a package
later than is contained in the repo.

So just because the maintainer THINKS abcd-1.1 is stable, the fact that it
requires wxyz-2.3.4 when wxyz-2.3.3 is the latest stable in the repo would
be sufficient to keep abcd-1.1 out of the repo.

I'm sure I haven't thought this thru very well, but you can see where I'm
going here.

Tumbleweed should be rolling rock solid, otherwise its no different than
factory.
