The only reason I don't really like this is because it breaks consistency. We have a ground rule, assign to maintainer, CC arch(es). Why make it more complicated? I have a feeling people will continue CCing arches out of habit. Ofcourse, individual cases (such as slacking arches) can be handled independently. -- Alex Alexander :: wired Gentoo Developer www.linuxized.com
