+Toolchain development and fixes
+-------------------------------
 
-Debian#874250: udd: use reproducible-tracker.json, or to ignore unstable 
+The Debian FTP archive will now
+[reject](https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/08/msg00614.html)
+changelogs where different entries have the same timestamps.
+
+UDD [now uses](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=874250)
+reproducible-tracker.json
+(~[25MB](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/reproducible-tracker.json))
+which ignores our tests for Debian unstable, instead of our full set of results
+in reproducible.json. The latter currently use a stricter definition of
+reproducibility than what was recently added to Debian policy, and these
+stricter tests are currently more unreliable.
