I would like to request the council discuss, though not necessarily take action or |
| 6 |
vote on, the idea of "slacker arches" and what ebuild maintainers are allowed/can do |
| 7 |
to a package versions that are languishing due to not getting stable keywords on |
| 8 |
those arches. |

|

I'm not trying to pick on any specific case, but I am hoping to find out if there's |
| 11 |
an allowable/acceptable period of time to which if an arch team is unable to |
| 12 |
stabilize a package to a newer version, for non-technical reasons, that it's okay to |
| 13 |
drop older unstable ebuilds. |
| 14 |
|

I realize this is open to lots of debate and dicussion, and I'm just trying to have |
| 16 |
a dialogue as to what is acceptable and hopefully get concensus as to some kind of |
| 17 |
guidance that could be added to the devmanual. |
