Huh? I read it as the exact opposite. If I'm not mistaken, any DD is currently allowed to do uploads containing binary packages of any arch if the condition is met that the upload also contains new source. In short: src+bin uploads are currently allowed. What this GR would change is that either - no one is allowed to do pure bin *and* src+bin uploads, only pure src uploads are allowed, or - pure bin uploads are allowed for any arch, or - there's a list of arches for which only pure src uploads are allowed. > Alternatively, this can be interpreted as a GR for source-only uploads. Indeed. That should be made clear. Also, the wording seems unclear: "Debian developers [...] should be allowed". "Should" normally means something: "need not in all cases, but really should except if there are strong reasons against". Which seems to be just the current situation, from the point of view of those who have the power to reject binary uploads...
