Yes, but please don't call it the "maintainer" arch. This will confuse our |
| 7 |
users and it'll be quite difficult to document. I would rather vote for a |
| 8 |
MAINTENANCE keyword, like the following example: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
MAINTENANCE="~x86" # Maintainer uses x86, package not deemed stable |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
This provides two (wanted) inputs: stability and maintenance architecture. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
And it keeps backwards compatibility. |
