Mark, I think you are looking at the problem only with the ebuild
maintainer hat put on. We have other players in our business, being one
of them the users. This policy would bring too many problems to them so
.. nono by my side.
I would prefer to analyze the causes of the slacker arch (manpower,
hardware, etc) and if we are not able to solve the problem by any way
(asking for new devs, buying hardware, etc) go for mark it as
experimental and drop all stable keywords.
Thanks.
