10 There is a site (http://gentoo.tamperd.net/stable/index.php) that lets

13 Things in ~arch have to be left there for at least a couple weeks to
14 make sure problems don't crop up -- generally, the thing is that we know
15 it works if there are no negative bug reports, and so "it works" bug
16 reports are only useful on alternate architectures (if you're testing
17 stuff on AMD64 that's marked unstable for an extended period of time
18 despite being stable on other architectures, a bug report informing us
19 of the fact is very handy)
