There seems to be some concern about AT testers having more privileges than= =20 some other devs. First off, I hope everyone saw the readonly access, and=20 even so, the whole point of this thing is to make development smoother. Basically, if someone comes up to an arch tester and is like "I just put th= is=20 in the tree and I think it works on amd64, can you test it for me?". Said= =20 person has to wait an hour or so for rsync to propigate, which may be the=20 time it takes to test the package. That provides a roadblock to efficiency= ,=20 not to mention you only get so many emerge --syncs before our rysnc servers= =20 happily ban you. So in conclusion, I think the costs here (having more privileges) do not=20 outweigh the benifits (having things tested for various archs within a=20 reasonable time period).
