No, you've misunderstood. |

He's saying people add new packages and then speculatively add |
| 9 |
keywords for a bunch of architectures that they haven't tested. This |
| 10 |
causes unnecessary packages to be keyworded on archs that don't want |
| 11 |
them and can hardly afford the extra load. |

The appropriate thing to do when adding a new package is to add only |
| 14 |
keywords you can test and maintain (likely just ~amd64), and then file |
| 15 |
a keyword request to ask arch teams to keyword the package if |
| 16 |
appropriate, which leaves the choice to them. |
