And do you actually want to make such a change? If you do, give an explanation, and demonstrate why it can't be solved simply by dependencies. Most of the time, when people are moaning about 'slacker' archs, they don't have any kind of decent technical reason for doing so... In cases where such a reason exists, the arch teams are usually quite happy to prioritise if asked. -- Ciaran McCreesh
