How about we base X Y and Z on the number of verifiable users of said |
| 6 |
arch? That's just as arbitrary and fits with the normal "pink ponies" |
| 7 |
philosophy of pulling complete bullshit out of the air and using it as a |
| 8 |
justification or argument. Maybe we'll base it on how many months |
| 9 |
they've been security-supported? |

No offense to anyone, but holding back hundreds of developers and |
| 12 |
thousands of users for a handful of developers, who could do their jobs |
| 13 |
just as well without stable KEYWORDS, and an nearly as small number of |
| 14 |
users, just isn't worth it to us all. How many users do you really |
| 15 |
think breaking some of these arches affects? If the architecture (or |
| 16 |
its team) is incapable of maintaining stable KEYWORDS in a timely |
| 17 |
manner, why should we care about them, again? |
