I admit the stabilization policy could use some work, however, arm isn't |
| 14 |
even the slowest of the minor arches. |

Just no. no. We support ~5 arm versions, and most of those can run |
| 20 |
softfloat, softfp, and hardfloat, all of which need testing. We are |
| 21 |
working on revising the stabilization requirements to be less stringent, |
| 22 |
but we are not splitting the arm team into 15 teams. |

We have devices available to all developers for all supported arches, if |
| 31 |
you were even on the arm team, you would know this. |

Maybe you should actually join the arm team and learn some of this |
| 45 |
really critical stuff that you are ignoring rather than just making |
| 46 |
insane suggestions on the ML? |
