Fair enough. I'm rather hoping that's something those who will be |
| 11 |
opposed to this idea will help we flesh out, but here's a couple of |
| 12 |
obvious ones: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
* Although x86 arch recruitment is currently underway, I suspect that |
| 15 |
we will need notably more devs to be x86 arch devs than we currently |
| 16 |
have signed up. (I don't know how many arch devs amd64 have, but I |
| 17 |
assume a similar number would be needed.) I assume that the x86 will |
| 18 |
want non-dev arch-testers as well, and all of that will have to be |
| 19 |
set up. |
| 20 |
* Having bodies on x86@g.o is just the starting point. The |
| 21 |
more difficult part will be convincing people that it is in their |
| 22 |
best interests to do things this way. Similarly, what do we do with |
| 23 |
devs who refuse? All of those issues still remain to be worked out. |
