So you would suggest to be like Ubuntu and say "we can not be bothered |
| 8 |
to support any minority architectures anymore". This effectively |
| 9 |
disbands all architecture teams except AMD64 and X86; it should be |
| 10 |
subject to the same scrutiny (I suggest a council vote) as a GLEP or |
| 11 |
EAPI change. |
| 12 |
Personally I would like to hear stronger reasons then "it inconveniences |
| 13 |
me when a bug I file is open longer then a month" to destroy the current |
| 14 |
diversity of supported architectures (be it PowerPC or a prefix |
| 15 |
installation on OS X). |
