24 Well IMHO, you can do what you want and if any arch team doesn't like it
25 they can always pmask it themselves in their arch profile. I will say I
26 disagree with putting it into ~arch in the current state, although I
27 agree with the rationale, and it IS your package(s), just as it's
28 essentially their arch.

30 I guess the deal here is to not encourage this type of behavior;
31 intentially breaking ~arch all the time and then making the arch teams
32 "clean up" so to speak. I don't believe this to be the case here, I
33 just don't want to see it become commonplace ;)
