How about we base X Y and Z on the number of verifiable users of said arch? That's just as arbitrary and fits with the normal "pink ponies" philosophy of pulling complete bullshit out of the air and using it as a justification or argument. Maybe we'll base it on how many months they've been security-supported? No offense to anyone, but holding back hundreds of developers and thousands of users for a handful of developers, who could do their jobs just as well without stable KEYWORDS, and an nearly as small number of users, just isn't worth it to us all. How many users do you really think breaking some of these arches affects? If the architecture (or its team) is incapable of maintaining stable KEYWORDS in a timely manner, why should we care about them, again? -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
