23 We have been through the same discussion not so long ago and the
24 result was to start dropping the ~m68k, s390 and sh to ~testing[1]. In
25 the thread that started it all[2] there has been no resistance about
26 dropping the keywords of these arches on $subject and here we are
27 again discussing the problem. Here[3] you can see council's decision.
28 I quote here just for fyi:
29
30 "In summary:
31 - - m68k, s390, sh: will be dropped to unstable keywords globally.
32 - - alpha, ia64: Maintainers can remove older stable versions according
33 to the "package-by-package" proposal.
34 - - sparc: No action.
35 "
36 So unless I make a mistake, you are free to start dropping alpha, ia64
37 to ~arch. For ppc,ppc64 and sparc it's probably best to resurrect the
38 old thread and possible have add it to the agenda for the next meeting.
