[gentoo-project] Dropping unstable packages on minor archs

[Rich Freeman]

This is a follow-up to the minor archs issue that was mostly resolved
in September.

The council agreed that:

  "If a maintainer has an open STABLEREQ, or a KEYWORDREQ blocking a
  pending STABLEREQ, for 90 days with archs CCed and otherwise ready
  to be stabilized, the maintainer can remove older stable versions of
  the package at their discretion. A package is considered ready to be
  stabilized if it has been in the tree for 30 days, and has no known
  major flaws on arches that upstream considers supported."

Here is my follow-up:

Are there any objections to changing "the maintainer can remove older stable
versions of the package at their discretion" to "the maintainer can
remove older versions of the package at their discretion?"  In the
case of a KEYWORDREQ the older version might not be stable.

Surely if a stable version can be removed, an unstable one could be...

This is actually coming up in practice, so I'd like the Council to
tackle this at the next meeting, assuming that we can't just agree
that this was what we meant all along.
