10 I'd be interested in whether anybody on the arch teams themselves
11 actually supports this proposal. I don't think I actually heard much
12 commentary in that thread one way or another from arch team members,
13 which is as good a reason as any to just completely drop the arch to
14 testing. If some spoke up about being willing to keep up with the
15 @system packages then considering allowing stable keywords for those
16 would make more sense.

18 And yes, I was one of the proponents of the model I tossed out there.
19 A good idea that isn't going to be properly supported isn't a good
20 idea.
