I would like to request the council discuss, though not necessarily take action or vote on, the idea of "slacker arches" and what ebuild maintainers are allowed/can do to a package versions that are languishing due to not getting stable keywords on those arches. I'm not trying to pick on any specific case, but I am hoping to find out if there's an allowable/acceptable period of time to which if an arch team is unable to stabilize a package to a newer version, for non-technical reasons, that it's okay to drop older unstable ebuilds. I realize this is open to lots of debate and dicussion, and I'm just trying to have a dialogue as to what is acceptable and hopefully get concensus as to some kind of guidance that could be added to the devmanual.
