37 I honestly find it offensive to break archs likewise. But while we can
38 all decide to continue to be dicks over this I still completely fail to
39 see how it *helps* solve anything. And I guess we want to solve the
40 problems instead of just continuing the flames, right?
41
42 So please ignore previous flames and lets focus on the actual problems.
43 Problems like MIPS being behind on some packages and latest stable or
44 testing version getting dropped for archs quite often. That's something
45 I'd like to see people spending their time on fixing instead of just
46 adding fuel to the flames.
