I like! In some cases, they may be combine-able, as well multiple archs |
| 10 |
to a profile, if they are sufficiently minimal. They could remain for |
| 11 |
some time to point people to if/as necessary. |

My idea for an archive was that this should be pretty low traffic, and |
| 14 |
would get it off the rsync mirrors and clean out the profile tree, making |
| 15 |
things less confusing. However, put them in a single "emergency-profile" |
| 16 |
subtree, and make them tiny enough, and it would do almost as well, while |
| 17 |
at the same time still being conveniently located in the portage tree. |
