20 Because it was meant for every package and I only talk about
21 keywording ~amd64, not stabling. The latter is handled by the team in
22 a timely manner, but keywording is put aside (it leads to even more
23 stabling, once it is keyworded). Java was only mentioned, as they came
24 up with an idea to help amd64 in special and arch teams in general.
