With 1) users would still be using newer versions with ~arch keyword |
| 14 |
except with explicit mask on newer versions, so keeping the old versions |
| 15 |
doesnt make much sense. |

With 2), there may be additional one-time cost for the maintainer (since |
| 18 |
he should check with reserve dependencies first to avoid broken |
| 19 |
dependency trees), but afterwards this solution should mean an adjusted |
| 20 |
amount of stable packages for each arch and no permanent additional work |
| 21 |
for the maintainer. |
