The complaint is slow to stable arches - by specifying "-* arch" it
would signify that ONLY that arch uses that version of the ebuild - and
it would be up to the arch team to remove it once they've stabled the
new version - and considering the complaint is only about slow arches,
there's nothing additional to specify in there - it's REMOVING arches
that have stabled a newer version already, so they are unaffected.
On the other hand, you're suggesting that we don't actually bother with
stabling things - or actually testing that things are properly stable,
allowing anyone to decide when something is stable, whether they have
access to the hardware to actually test that it works. You and a few
others keep talking in the theoretical while I've shown an actual
problem but you and the others conveniently ignore ACTUAL problems in
favor of your possible problems. Please stop.
