Not all the architectures proposed for release with etch are architectures that have enough download share to justify keeping them on the primary mirror network; these are *separate*, if heirarchically related, requirements. Releasing archs via scc.debian.org (and mirror network) is not an obstacle, because scc.debian.org vs. ftp.debian.org is a *mirroring* convenience only. The uploads still all go through ftp-master.debian.org, which is where the release action happens. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
