5 A GLSA gets issued when all security-wise supported architectures are marked
6 stable and the security team is conviced that it is necessary. There are no
7 GLSAs for ~arch stuff, since ~arch, security-wise, isn't supported. The
8 updates happen, but you're responsible, if you don't really live on the
9 bleeding edge, that ~arch is. Or to say it another way: If using ~arch, do
10 always --deep updates.
