14 why do you want to treat amd64-fbsd different than other arches ?
15 just to make the work of those that want to maintain that arch a pain ?
16
17 you know, standard procedure is to drop keywords and file a bug when a
18 new dep comes in a new version. deps that are _already_ broken should
19 not happen because, heh, the profile is marked stable... in case this
20 happens there's nothing sane to do, better use repoman --force and file
21 an urgent bug to the arch team.

26 if people do not file bugs and think it's fine to commit packages with
27 broken deps, or silently dekeyword just because they can like you
28 suggested in the first paragraph, this will not change anytime soon.
29
30 and no thanks, i wont be doing repoman checks on the tree, i had been
31 doing this for x86-fbsd, spending hours fixing the mess i could, and had
32 to re-do it every couple of months because every other dev was
33 committing packages with broken deps.
34
35 now, would you please file bugs when you see such broken packages and
36 let the keywording level be sanitized ? thanks
