[gentoo-dev] Are there valid uses for repoman --ignore-other-arches?

 --ignore-other-arches Instructs repoman to ignore arches that are not
relevent to the committing arch. REPORT/FIX issues you work around.

Are there any valid uses for this switch or can it be deprecated? From a
QA point of view this seems like a very bad option.

uhh yeah, like people who want to commit a fix unrelated to any arch
breakage someone else may have caused

arch breakage is for arch teams to worry over ... without the -I
option, maintainers are basically fucked and unable to commit any fixes
until the arch issue is resolved

and in case i wasnt clear, i'd be very against removing this

Unless we get proper arch teams for the less used arches like m68k the 
switch will probably need to exist for a very long time.
