Just a brief comment, we should keep ~arch for those drivers/applications |
| 35 |
that still can't be tested for X or Y reason, and for informative purpose, |
| 36 |
we also could include this information in metada.xml for example. (for users |
| 37 |
to be aware of the current situation mainly, and at the same time for a |
| 38 |
_way_ |
| 39 |
to call people interested on mantaining the package). |
