To generalize on Francesco's email, how long should developers wait for |
| 14 |
minority arches to mark stuff stable, after a security bug, and then a |
| 15 |
reminder more than 4 months later? 5 months of no response from the |
| 16 |
arches says something is wrong on their side. |

I think that usage statistics might point out that there are nobody even |
| 19 |
using these specific ebuilds that are proposed for removal. |
