No. It was a suggestion, but was never added to the GLEP. > - Does it mean that devs who are not part of the x86 team can't move > packages from ~x86 to x86 ? Correct. They can, however, make previous arrangements with the x86 arch team to allow them to stabilize their own packages. What this says is "I acknowledge that anything that I break or that breaks on x86 with my package, I get to fix and is not the responsibility of the x86 arch team." The x86 team will keep a list of these developers. This is similar (or identical) to how other arch teams work. For example, I'm not a member of the amd64 arch team, but they know I have an amd64 and use it as my primary development box, so I have made arrangements with them so I can ~amd64 -> amd64 my own packages. If something breaks, I pick up the pieces, not them. > - Is there something else I failed to read?
