Well, if the installer ever holds etch, we can think about it. Right now, the installer is not even semi-close to being the worst problem. > Also, really huge stuff, like KDE, cannot be uploaded as frequently as > perhaps the maintainers would like because it kills the slower buildd's > for a few days. The answer to that is to setup a dist-cc cluster for these archs, where only the master node is in the slow arch, and everything else is a fast arch. i.e. far stricter buildd requirements would fix it. Even mirror space problems can be fixed without dropping an arch. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
