This is a horrible idea hearkening back to the problems we had a long |
| 12 |
time ago. The stable tree's were broken messes that were that way |
| 13 |
because developers ran ~arch but tested an app they wanted stable and |
| 14 |
as long as it ran it was marked as such. I will protest any kind of |
| 15 |
arch kerwording to the hilt. If you want to mark something ~arch and |
| 16 |
have the arch that is fine with me. However this entire plan will kill |
| 17 |
the arch teams that have not only improved the stable trees, they have |
| 18 |
proved to be a valuable tool for recruiting, as both the x86 and amd64 |
| 19 |
team have have a 60+% ratio of arch testers becoming developers. |

In other words *smacks everyone with the protest sign* |
