For a project like this, where you wrote the code and you know there
shouldn't be cross-platform issues, I'd suggest marking stable on all
platforms.  That is what I do for keychain.

If you choose that route, you make things easier for everybody, but
you also risk the wrath of arch teams if your evaluation turns out to
be wrong.  For keychain it has never bitten me, but it's certainly
possible that someday I'll find a snippet of shell code that works
everywhere except SPARC.  When that happens, I'll owe an apology (and
a change of behavior) to the SPARC team for marking stable without
testing on their platform.

If you find other arch teams opposed to this approach, then at least
I can tell you to go ahead and mark stable when you see fit for alpha
and ia64.

Regards,
Aron
