Just curious: 1) what's the cost of letting the unstable buildds run on a "don't care" basis? (question which I asked before and which remained unanswered afaik) 2) what's up with the FTPmasters' minutes which stated the hppa archive would be moved to debian-ports? 3) shouldn't such a decision (the removal of an arch from the archive) be voted on, instead of being the arbitrary ruling of a couple of DDs? Or did I miss the bit that said "not releasing in time equals archive removal"? Cheers, T-Bone -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-alpha-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
