Well, having to manually add all the arches by hand is error-prone. Plus, |
| 14 |
just keeping track of all the arches isn't easy either. No-one maintains a |
| 15 |
list of valid arches + aliases on www.g.o (have you *seen* how out of date |
| 16 |
the Project Listing is atm?). |

So, I'm sorry about the inconvenience this might cause the arch teams, but not |
| 19 |
having an alias like this seems more inconvenient for the rest of the devs - |
| 20 |
ie the majority of us. |
