Hi Helmut, apologies if this might have sounded a bit aggressive, it was not at all intended as a personal attack against you. We are having a real problem on the buildds with build time regressions caused by guess-concurrency, basing everything on worst-case guesses with large margins everywhere might have been well-intended, but it is not workable if this is being done with many packages. And riscv64 does not have any margin for slower builds. cu Adrian
