They aren't "x86 developers" just because they're on an x86 anymore than |
| 8 |
I'm an amd64 developer or a sparc developer because I'm on an amd64 or a |
| 9 |
sparc. After all, I do some of my "development" from my PPC box, |
| 10 |
running MacOS X, but I'm neither a PPC, nor a MacOS developer. Just |
| 11 |
because someone is a developer and happens to use x86, don't try to make |
| 12 |
this an "x86 versus $arch" problem, when it is really a "package |
| 13 |
maintainer versus $arch" one. |

That all being said, it would be nice if more people used arches other |
| 16 |
than x86 every once in a while just so they could see how different |
| 17 |
things can be. |
