4 OK, let's review this again.
5
6 If you cannot test a given ebuild on a given arch, then don't touch that
7 arch's keyword (unless you need to remove it for broken dependencies).
8
9 If you can test for a given arch and are not part of that arch team,
10 please please please let the arch teams know that before you go around
11 keywording things arbitrarily. It makes the baby Jesus cry when you don't
12 and really isn't the greatest from a QA perspective either.
13
14 Maintaining almost all of the packages in the portage tree is a demanding
15 job, but it is what we as architecture teams do. Please respect
16 architecture keywording like you were trying to make changes to a package
17 someone else maintains.
