What about fast tracking packages that are moved from AUR to Arch repos to Manjaro stable?

This is a good explanation why libxml2-legacy cannot be fast-tracked to Stable:

@dmt

libxml2 is an important package, the package managers (and presumably other packages) rely upon it. It needs to be updated properly, in line with everything else, or your system may break.

The libxml2 package is currently the same version as libxml2-legacy, thus if the latter package was pushed to stable right now you’d get errors like this:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
libxml2-legacy: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 exists in filesystem (owned by libxml2)
libxml2-legacy: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.13.8 exists in filesystem (owned by libxml2)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
