9 That's a thing that was never quite clear to me. Should there be
10 a one-to-one correspondence between an arch marked stable in
11 profiles.desc (i.e. having at least one profile labelled as stable
12 there) and the same arch having stable keywords?

14 There is at least one example for an arch that is only dev in
15 profiles.desc but used to have stable keywords (sh), and another arch
16 where it's the other way around (amd64-fbsd).
