8 Exactly. So suppose that we do stabilize a non-critical package on an
9 arch where it fails. We'll get a bug report for it and then deal with
10 the issue. Its not ideal, i know, but it seems an acceptable compromise
11 given manpower shortage. We tossed around an earlier version of the
12 idea in ppc/ppc64 when we were struggling for manpower and we were
13 getting council pressure to drop to ~arch.
