I think we're going a little far trying to solve a management problem |
| 15 |
with technology. If a herd thinks that a particular package can be |
| 16 |
safely keyworded (or stabilized) other arches (it just dumps data, is |
| 17 |
a simple python module, etc); they should make the call and just do |
