18 Your "suggestion" was expanding the "arm" keyword to "armv4-linux",
19 "armv5-linux", "armv6-linux", "armv6-hardfloat-linux",
20 "armv7-softfp-linux", "armv7-hardfloat-linux",
21 "armv7-hardfloat-uclibc-linux" - that is nowhere near a good solution.
22 The /dev/null comment was about wanting others to do the work and not
23 contributing anything more than (imo) a stupid idea - if you aren't
24 willing to put in the work, don't expect others to.

27 And yes, I see what you mean now re: my reply seeming off - it would
28 seem when I hit group reply, for some reason, Evolution is putting Peter
29 Stuge into the CC, and not Tom Wijsman (despite hitting group reply from
30 your email. Maybe there should have been more testing of Gnome 3.8
31 before it was stabled on x86...
