This has come up a few times, mostly specifically related to GNOME |
2 |
packages, but there hasn't been much recent discussion on the pros/cons |
3 |
involved. |

Apparently, some package maintainers think it's a major problem if an |
6 |
arch other than x86 marks an ebuild stable before it's stable on x86. |
7 |
Speaking as someone who's maintained many packages as well as two |
8 |
non-x86 architectures, could someone please explain why, precisely, it's |
9 |
such an issue if an architecture chooses to give their stable users |
10 |
versions not yet marked stable on the maintainer's preferred |
11 |
architecture? |
