Towards reducing arch load, I say that new packages should not be added to ~arch if some of it's new dependencies are not keyworded. Add p.masked or keyword-less till dependencies are keyworded. *Then* add to ~arch carrying over keywords. Although I'm not an arch tester myself, I empathize with the huge amount of work they have to do. This will reduce workload for arch teams greatly Example: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268529 <-- libsoup keywords dropped because of new dependency libproxy. This led to a cascade of packages with dropped keywords --> http://bugs.gentoo.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=268529 This could've been worse, and likely will be worse with GNOME 2.28 and 3.0 :) -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan
