For a project like this, where you wrote the code and you know there |
| 6 |
shouldn't be cross-platform issues, I'd suggest marking stable on all |
| 7 |
platforms. That is what I do for keychain. |

If you choose that route, you make things easier for everybody, but |
| 10 |
you also risk the wrath of arch teams if your evaluation turns out to |
| 11 |
be wrong. For keychain it has never bitten me, but it's certainly |
| 12 |
possible that someday I'll find a snippet of shell code that works |
| 13 |
everywhere except SPARC. When that happens, I'll owe an apology (and |
| 14 |
a change of behavior) to the SPARC team for marking stable without |
| 15 |
testing on their platform. |

If you find other arch teams opposed to this approach, then at least |
| 18 |
I can tell you to go ahead and mark stable when you see fit for alpha |
| 19 |
and ia64. |
