Niels said that I shouldn't hesitate to let the release team know when I believe there is an issue they have overlooked.[1] I do believe that there is a risk in the ppc64el port in the unlikely case that IBM suddenly moves away from PowerPC, and that is currently not mentioned in the architecture requalification table. This is not about past work done by the ppc64el porters, this is about a specific single point of failure that could happen in the future. In my opinion this is a risk, and the release team should be aware of it when making the decision regarding architectures in stretch. I do appreciate the answers from Breno and you that addressed some of the things I brought up. I do expect the release team to read this discussion and take it into consideration. I am not involved in the decision regarding ports in stretch, and any decision is fine with me. > Aurelien cu Adrian [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2016/10/msg00131.html -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
