The feedback on the original question was mostly positive. Most people agree that the long stabilization queues for these architectures create problems for maintainers wishing to drop old versions. The council should also take into consideration that the stabilization process for these arches is mostly a one-man job (Agostino). However, some people raised the point that we should provide stable stages for these architectures and drop everything else to ~arch. So if the Council votes 'NO' to the original question, vote on whether only @system should be stable for these architectures. The Council should also provide a list of the arches that wishes to "mark" as ~arch (even if they only do stable @system) so maintainers are aware of the situation. -- Regards, Markos Chandras - Gentoo Linux Developer http://dev.gentoo.org/~hwoarang
