actually this is came up in the meeting as something we would like to see spelled out explicitly ... either as a GLEP itself or as a policy update to current stabilization practices the GLEP was approved on the grounds that we need an x86 team and that it needs to be treated as any other arch ... arch team interaction with maintainers should be spelled out clearly rather than part of a single sentence '... or make individual arrangements with the x86 arch team.' -mike -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
