(ie. ~mips, ~x86-fbsd, etc). If the $ARCH doesn't have the manpower to do stable reqs then they don't have the manpower to fix broken stable trees either or do security bugs. So, IMHO, this proposal doesn't solve anything. With the key problem being that the 'slacker' arches can't keep up with the stable reqs and hence a large number of stale ebuilds and stale bugs being kept around. -Jeremy
