Do you mean if you don't want to wait for a week in testing? Or is
you're package not aging out for some reason?

I own several (new) packages that are not really used yet (building
blocks for other packages) and I didn't feel right about +1 my own
packages so I just end up leaving them in testing until they can be
pushed to stable...
