8 This is probably the smaller problem. The link shows a bug where none
9 of the aforementioned arch teams have keyworded the requested packages
10 in 4 months. How would the arches.desc proposal fix "dead arch teams"?
11 Sure, it will make maintenance easier for pure stablereqs, but the
12 other half of keywording does not happen. All the ia64/ppc/sparc
13 KEYWORDREQs I have filed for sci-* packages I have closed and
14 dekeyworded for revdeps. We have had KEYWORDREQs open for over a year
15 with 0 activity. If the keywording inactivity continues, I will also
16 continue to dekeyword packages.
