7 I think it's okay if the maintainer's arch jumps around. To do
8 otherwise would be an unnecessary restriction.

10 If we go with my proposal to put the maintainer's arch first in the
11 list, then it's just a matter of reordering the list when the
12 maintainer marks a package stable. I can put a simple feature into
13 ekeyword to make this easy.

15 I'll write up a GLEP, since clearly this is an enhancement proposal.
