The notification policy is not about your convenience, but about the
maintainer not being surprised by things changing out from under him.

I think it's reasonable to shorten our usual "notify and do it if we
don't hear back in 1 week" policy to a couple of days, but I think it's
pretty crappy to just do it and tell them after the fact.  Especially
since we've been doing quick hacks to make things work on SL, it could
be the maintainer is in the middle of working on the more elegant solution.

Give them at least a day or two to send an email saying "yeah, it's OK
to update it."  Stable is *stable* with Dave's changes, even if it's a
bit light on packages compared to 10.5.  We can stand to move things
when it's actually OK'd by the maintainer.
