Stuff with high impact better be masked for initial testing, such as new
versions of gcc, glibc and other parts of toolchain and build system,
and other similar things affecting other packages than itself. ~arch is
in my eyes something that updates shouldn't break vastly - a stable
candidate.
Of course when that initial testing is done with helping users, the
reason could be modified to tell things broke and what the tracking bug
is, or unmasked if it works fine with other packages.
