+If you notice that one of Arch's packages is out of date (ie, there is a newer
+<b>stable</b> release available), then please notify us by using the <b>Flag</b>
+button in the <i>Package Details</i> screen. This will notify the maintainer
+responsible for that package so they can update it.
+<br><br>
+The message box portion of the flag utility is optional, and meant for short messages only. If you need more than 200 characters for your message, then file a bug report, email the maintainer directly, or send an email to the arch-general mailing list with your additional text.
+<br><br>
+<b>Note:</b> Please do <i>not</i> use this facility if the package is broken!
+Use the <a target="_blank" href='http://bugs.archlinux.org'>bugtracker</a> instead.
