If a port meets all of the requirements for being a release candidate architecture, and promoting it to release candidate status doesn't introduce too many arch-specific RC bugs that were previously being ignored, then I have no problem with promoting such an architecture to release-candidate status late in the cycle. It would almost certainly have to be done pre-freeze, for sanity's sake, but that's about it, AFAICT. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
