We can of course send out a news item in advance and warn of possible |
15 |
issues if they stick with stable keywords. That is no effectively |
16 |
different than just removing the stable keywords - either breaks if |
17 |
the user takes no action. |

However, if there is another distro out there with better hppa/sparc |
20 |
support then it is actually a good thing if those users dump Gentoo |
21 |
and switch to the other distro. These are extremely niche arches at |
22 |
this point, so having 10 people on the planet on one distro is going |
23 |
to work better than having them all on different distros. |

However, you can't really expect the ubuntu experience if you're |
26 |
running one of these architectures. |
