OK, so you are explicitly backing down from the Vancouver paper's ban against arch-specific "testing" distributions for minor architectures. Do you speak for the entire Vancouver authorship here? Alas, I infer that this means that the ban against arch-specific "stable" distributions for minor architectures (even if security updates can be provided in some way or another) still stands. Thus the minor architectures will still effectively be forced out in the dark. Can you provide any rationale for this decision? -- Henning Makholm "Slip den panserraket og læg dig på jorden med ansigtet nedad!"
