Afaik we have 3 types of arches:
- experimental
They are not CCed on stablization bugs and don't do stablizations at
all.
~mips, ~sparc-fbsd and ~x86-fbsd
- unsupported
They are CCed on stablizations bugs, but they are not supported by the
Gentoo Linux Security Project. It may take quite long until they
actually do the stablization. But I'm also wondering why some of their
profiles are marked as "dev".
arm, ia64, m68k, sh, s390
- supported
Most popular arches, supported by the Gentoo Linux Security Project,
they usually do your stablizations in time unless it requires some
exotic hardware(the devs/ats don't have) to test.
alpha, amd64, hppa, sparc, ppc, ppc64, x86

I would suggest moving all the "slacking" arches to "experimental" until
there is desire from the dev community (read: manpower) to support a
stable tree again. Until then, it seems pretty pointless to keep
assigning bugs to these arches and they just keep rotting there because
no one gets around to them.
