Yeah, foser's on holiday. Good time to push the GLEP through. |

Good. Does this mean I can start pushing for UTF-8 again? |

| I'd be more worried about the impact on users. From a user's point of |
| 15 |
| view, x86 is a fast-moving arch, where you can normally find an up to |
| 16 |
| date package, and where most of the major packages are actively and |
| 17 |
| well maintained by the package maintainers. The introduction of the |
| 18 |
| x86 arch team will, at some point, turn the x86 arch team into a |
| 19 |
| bottleneck (just like all the other arch teams already are) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The only reason certain arch teams are considered a bottleneck is |
| 22 |
because they do real testing. As opposed to x86 or ppc, where packages |
| 23 |
which won't even unpack get marked stable... |
