16 I would very much welcome if these arches would be CC'ed on anything that was
17 previously stable for them, i.e. nattka '*'. I'm fighting the dependency tree
18 on hppa and stable to get them back to stable with a managable set of
19 packages. I had at least 2 packges over the weekend that lost their stable
20 keywords in a "cleanup old versions" after a previous stable request where one
21 of these arches was forgotten. Luckily this wasn't too late now, if this
22 happens after a while it is a nightmare to fight that back.
23
24 And when we are at it, please don't forget these arches when doing ALLARCHES
25 stabilization either. I hope that nattka will actually improve both
26 situations.
