No. It was a suggestion, but was never added to the GLEP. |

Correct. They can, however, make previous arrangements with the x86 |
| 12 |
arch team to allow them to stabilize their own packages. What this says |
| 13 |
is "I acknowledge that anything that I break or that breaks on x86 with |
| 14 |
my package, I get to fix and is not the responsibility of the x86 arch |
| 15 |
team." The x86 team will keep a list of these developers. This is |
| 16 |
similar (or identical) to how other arch teams work. For example, I'm |
| 17 |
not a member of the amd64 arch team, but they know I have an amd64 and |
| 18 |
use it as my primary development box, so I have made arrangements with |
| 19 |
them so I can ~amd64 -> amd64 my own packages. If something breaks, I |
| 20 |
pick up the pieces, not them. |

Not that I'm aware of. |
