The powerpc team figured we'd deal with this by being "lax" about |
| 8 |
keywording/stabilization and catch problems in subsequent bug reports to |
| 9 |
increase our throughput. We didn't want to drop the entire arch to ~. |
| 10 |
The team hasn't met since last august, and we should discuss this |
| 11 |
again. But we decided then that ago would do stabilization and the rest |
| 12 |
of us would do keywording. |

As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy to drop all desktop-ish packages to |
| 15 |
~arch, but keep the more server-ish, system-ish packages as stable. |
| 16 |
Controlling @system with stable keywords is very useful for building |
| 17 |
stages so I'm reluctant to give that up. So maybe we can just adopt the |
| 18 |
policy that any ppc/ppc64 package which depends on X can be dropped to ~. |

No problem. Can you categorize where most of the blockers are coming |
| 24 |
from? Are they mostly desktop? |

| 26 |
Comments from other ppc people? |
