I can tell you that we catch what comes to us. We don't get every single package pushed on us as some never go through stable testing, and we don't have every single package installed(that's unrealistic). If they do then if there is a collision a note is filed in the bug and we wait for a fix, as it actually does bail you out of the build. This has been the mantra of at least x86 since the creation of the team.
It strikes me that people are often a little too sensative to any possible doubts or aspersions that may be cast there way. Taken in context I can't see why anyone would have a problem with what I wrote. Either arch's are acting as described and the issue persists in which case the action is not sufficient OR the pescribed action is sufficent but not always undertaken or performed. I cant see how it can be both. Regards -Rob
