Nah. The second-most popular arch with the fastest buildd, expecting an exponential growth over the years to when (hopefully) etch is frozen, doesn't cut it in sid. The days and nights all you great amd64 people out there have spent hunting bugs (that has been of great help to other archs too), fixing installers, maintaining mirrors, helping newcomers getting started and creating a port in an excellent shape - isn't good enough. The amount of work involved in adding amd64 to sid proper is of such unfathomable magnitude that we'd rather wait a couple of years, filling up sid and sarge with a constant flow of broken packages and RC bugs. You're too greedy and should've spent the extra dollars on Itanium2s instead. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
