On stable, prefer the weekly repository over the latest repository,
which is a saner pace of updates for most people and aligned with the
kmods which are themselves always build on the weekly snapshots of
pkgbase.

This will also affect -CURRENT no ? (but it's also better to use weekly by default here)
I think it is, if you run, stable or current, you are supposed to know what you are doing.
okay, but even if you know what you're doing, you still aren't going to get security updates :-)
is the expectation that people would do a one-off build to fix the security issue then go back to using the pkg.f.o builds?
let's say I see a security issue, which affects my use case, I would switch temporary on latest and switch back on weekly a couple of days later.
We can also align the EN/SA release date on the weekly or the other way around, so the next weekly happen few hours after the EN/SA are issued
okay, i don't object to this but i feel like (at some point in the future) we could have a better solution somehow.
