Hi, |

This is a friendly reminder that you should CC arch teams *for all arches which currently have a stable keyword for your package*. NATTkA |
| 4 |
handles this for you (see my other email [0]), but if you decide to not use it, please be sure you do CC all arches for which the previous |
| 5 |
stable version had stable keywords. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The point of arch teams is to test on their platform. Of course, if you become aware that upstream have made serious changes to support for |
| 8 |
a certain arch, you may want to speak to a member of the arch team and drop the keyword *and request rekeywording* or similar. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
You do not need to be a e.g. HPPA fan or user in order to continue stabilisation on that platform. Let the arch team do their job. |

[Of course, exceptions apply if we’ve decided to discontinue support (like the package can’t work on e.g. SPARC after a certain release for sure), |
| 13 |
but in such a case, please check with somebody to ensure it looks like the right thing to do, if you’re not sure.] |
