If you talk to Mike, Raúl and Matt, I'm sure they'll tell you that |
31 |
trying to get an arch out of testing status to supported is a nightmare. |
32 |
AFAIK that was already done once for arm and is happening now for mips. |
33 |
|
34 |
About the arches with >200 stable bugs, should we have dropped KDE from |
35 |
the tree when for years we had >300 open bugs? Should we stop doing |
36 |
releases if we have >100 open bugs? What about mysql with >50 open bugs, |
37 |
etc? |
38 |
Furthermore, there have been many complaints from arches with a high |
39 |
number of stable bugs that by the time they were working on a stable |
40 |
bug, a maintainer either dropped the version they were testing or |
41 |
somewhere else in the tree someone decided to drop their keywords and |
42 |
got their tree broken. |
43 |
Some arch team members may take a while to reply at times but some |
44 |
maintainers also "help" increasing the AT work load by not thinking |
45 |
about arches now and then. |
