They aren't "x86 developers" just because they're on an x86 anymore than I'm an amd64 developer or a sparc developer because I'm on an amd64 or a sparc. After all, I do some of my "development" from my PPC box, running MacOS X, but I'm neither a PPC, nor a MacOS developer. Just because someone is a developer and happens to use x86, don't try to make this an "x86 versus $arch" problem, when it is really a "package maintainer versus $arch" one. That all being said, it would be nice if more people used arches other than x86 every once in a while just so they could see how different things can be. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
