How typical of you to try and drag this discussion down into something personal :( If you keep feeling the need to do this, do everyone a favour and keep your mouth shut instead. It detracts from otherwise insightful and useful comments. > The only reason certain arch teams are considered a bottleneck is > because they do real testing.

You have to have a pop at someone :( I didn't mean "considered", I meant "are". It wasn't a criticism, it's just a statement of fact. It's impossible for an arch team to keep pace with the rate of change in the tree and do adequate testing too. No arch team is currently big enough. Arch teams are always going to lag behind what package maintainers do. It's a simple numbers game. There are only two arch teams with 20 or more members (amd64 and ppc), as of 22:30 BST today. They have to deal with the output of approx 155 herds, plus countless changes that don't go through herds in the first place. The numbers speak for themselves. Arch teams are bottlenecks. Until the numbers change, that won't change.
