| This is _not_ an arch specific issue, this is something that affects |
| 14 |
| the quality of Gentoo overall. QA has enough merit in itself, but |
| 15 |
| besides that it is based upon actual experience of things going wrong. |

Where have you encountered problems based upon *your* actual use of |
| 18 |
non-x86 kit? What, as someone who uses the non-x86 trees, is not working |
| 19 |
for you that would be solved by your proposed change? Where are your |
| 20 |
specific examples of how our policies have caused problems *for a box |
| 21 |
you have actually used*? Where is your list of actual feedback from |
| 22 |
*non-x86 users* illustrating that we are doing something wrong? Where is |
| 23 |
the photographic proof that we have weapons of mass destruction? Simply |
| 24 |
put, where is your evidence to back up your speculation and conjectures, |
| 25 |
and why are the arch teams completely unaware of its existence? |
