Towards reducing arch load, I say that new packages should not be |
| 7 |
added to ~arch if some of it's new dependencies are not keyworded. Add |
| 8 |
p.masked or keyword-less till dependencies are keyworded. *Then* add |
| 9 |
to ~arch carrying over keywords. |

Although I'm not an arch tester myself, I empathize with the huge |
| 12 |
amount of work they have to do. This will reduce workload for arch |
| 13 |
teams greatly |

Example: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268529 <-- libsoup |
| 16 |
keywords dropped because of new dependency libproxy. This led to a |
| 17 |
cascade of packages with dropped keywords --> |

This could've been worse, and likely will be worse with GNOME 2.28 and 3.0 :) |
