Ok. Here is my small input. I've been around arch teams and testing for |
| 44 |
a long time. And i'm mainly taking care of system-important packages. In |
| 45 |
my opinion the main problem is.. people. Now we have lack of manpower as |
| 46 |
usual. |
| 47 |
So i think, we have to drop stable packages for some so-called "fun |
| 48 |
packages". I've noticed for example, that gimp has stable alpha keyword. |
| 49 |
Have you ever run gimp on alpha servers? |
| 50 |
I am sure, there are more stable-unneeded packages like games, maybe |
| 51 |
some programming languages, and so on for others non-mainstream arches. |
