Perhaps the "arch tester" job could simply be made as a probationary period for developer recruits. The good ATs typically go on to be developers anyway, no? This is sort of like how many companies like to hire you for an internship the summer before you graduate, then full time when you graduate if you were/are good enough. -Steve -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
