In this particular situation i think a new stable-rc will get created
from test without pushing it down to stable. Originally we were waiting
for the p4 history merge with git, but that hasnt happened. Jeremy did
give a go-ahead signal to not wait for him for the next stable. However
no other progress has been made towards this yet. It would be good to
get things going again.

As for flagging, the flags were thought of in the context of regular and
fairly short (2 to 4 week) grimoire release cycles. So there wouldn't
ever be very many of them for very long. We haven't exactly had a short
or regular grimoire release cycle (or any release cycle like we had
planned). So now they're piling up. There was also a long period where
no one did anything with approving them, which also led to that.

So, if we can get the grimoire release cycle on track it will aleviate
the "flagging woes".
