actually this is came up in the meeting as something we would like to see |
18 |
spelled out explicitly ... either as a GLEP itself or as a policy update to |
19 |
current stabilization practices |

the GLEP was approved on the grounds that we need an x86 team and that it |
22 |
needs to be treated as any other arch ... arch team interaction with |
23 |
maintainers should be spelled out clearly rather than part of a single |
24 |
sentence '... or make individual arrangements with the x86 arch team.' |
