I think we do agree that it will be included into stable for the last time.
Under which metrics or evaluation process is this decision being made?
basically the criteria listed on [0] (which is again not entirely
up-to-date, though). I think for hppa it would be mainly architecture
availability, keeping the buildds running for yet another stable release
until EOL (which would for squeeze probably be now+0,5y+2y+1y=now+3,5y),
buildds being redundant hardware-wise, builds not failing for the
security in non-obvious manners[1], having some upstream support, etc.
More than one porter is also important so that we are not left alone if
the only person working on it needs to shift his/her priorities (c.f.
bus factor).
Kind regards,
