I can't speak to that point, but the mips versions of xerces23 and xerces24 have been up for a long time with no bugs specifically reported, and powerpc versions of xerces23, xerces25, and xerces26 are also there. It seems extremely unlikely to me that these got on the not-for-us lists because of brokenness without any bugs having been filed. That said, it remains mysterious to me how these packages got on these lists. --Jay
