Now what problem are we trying to solve? As I see it, it is mainly |
15 |
one of manpower, namely that some arch teams cannot keep up with |
16 |
stable requests, and I doubt that any technical solution will help |
17 |
to solve this. Introducing a "noarch" keyword or allowing "*" will |
18 |
potentially cause problems with dependency resolution. |

Instead, we should come up with a clear set of rules under what |
21 |
circumstances package maintainers are allowed to stabilise ebuilds |
22 |
themselves on all architectures. |
