9 If it's a security-unsupported arch we probably don't even care about
10 that enough to lose keywords. If a particular sysadmin does care about
11 security of his unsupported experimental systems, he can use his
12 package manager's capabilities to remove insecure packages rather than
13 us forcing it on everyone. When it comes to this sort of machine,
14 working beats secure but broken any day.
