No compromise. Well, at least the one referenced bug (243050) is for an ~arch keyword,=20 not a stable keyword. That's different, as the ~arch keyword is useful=20 for saying yes, it has been tested and is known to be workable on that=20 particular arch in /some/ form, even if it's not (and may never be)=20 stable. x86 many not have to worry about that, but the other archs do. But mentioning that it can never be stabilized (and referring to a policy= =20 URL for why) in the package description would still be good, as would=20 mention of the fact that yes, it does require user application of patches= =20 elsewhere. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
