Yes, but please don't call it the "maintainer" arch. This will confuse our
users and it'll be quite difficult to document. I would rather vote for a
MAINTENANCE keyword, like the following example:
MAINTENANCE="~x86" # Maintainer uses x86, package not deemed stable
This provides two (wanted) inputs: stability and maintenance architecture.
And it keeps backwards compatibility.
