  In this note we perform a synopsis of the life-times from vacuum decay of
several de Sitter vacuum constructions in string/M-theory which have a single
dS minimum arising from lifting a pre-existing AdS extremum and no other local
minima existent after lifting. For these vacua the decay proceeds via a
Coleman--De Luccia instanton towards the universal Minkowski minimum at
infinite volume. This can be calculated using the thin--wall approximation,
provided the cosmological constant of the local dS minimum is tuned
sufficiently small. We compare the estimates for the different model classes
and find them all stable in the sense of exponentially long life times as long
as they have a very small cosmological constant and a scale of supersymmetry
breaking > TeV.
