Alright, so here's what I think on the whole thing now that I made a nice tidy [Summary] thread.
There seems to be some concern about AT testers having more privileges than some other devs. First off, I hope everyone saw the readonly access, and even so, the whole point of this thing is to make development smoother. Basically, if someone comes up to an arch tester and is like "I just put this in the tree and I think it works on amd64, can you test it for me?". Said person has to wait an hour or so for rsync to propigate, which may be the time it takes to test the package. That provides a roadblock to efficiency, not to mention you only get so many emerge --syncs before our rysnc servers happily ban you. So in conclusion, I think the costs here (having more privileges) do not outweigh the benifits (having things tested for various archs within a reasonable time period).
