For example on AMD64 devs and AT's tested the new 2005.1 livecd and stages for long time. On our team we found bugs on packages (missing deps or patches) and we also test the packages with the help of our AT's. At this moment i belive that x86 really misses the arch team (hopefully it's in formation) to help test, improve QA and also take care of security issues for example. -- Luis Medinas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://dev.gentoo.org/~metalgod Gentoo Linux Developer: AMD64,Printing,Media-Optical
