But are you convinced the keyword order is not the right place? |

In case you are, stop reading =] |

In case you are not, I would argue that maintainer's arch is an entirely |
| 9 |
different item of information from the list of keywords. There is little |
| 10 |
correlation, if any, between changes in maintainer arch and changes in |
| 11 |
the list of keywords. |
| 12 |
|

For this reason I would not encode the maintainer's arch in the list of |
| 14 |
keywords. |

|
| 16 |
This means that I have no strong preference for any particular ordering |
| 17 |
and I would be inclined to go for anything that has a small advantage |
| 18 |
over the others, such as being able to find keywords at a glance. |
| 19 |
It might even be too small an advantage to make policy out of it. |
