With 1) users would still be using newer versions with ~arch keyword except with explicit mask on newer versions, so keeping the old versions doesnt make much sense. With 2), there may be additional one-time cost for the maintainer (since he should check with reserve dependencies first to avoid broken dependency trees), but afterwards this solution should mean an adjusted amount of stable packages for each arch and no permanent additional work for the maintainer. -- Thomas Sachau Gentoo Linux Developer
