All,
I'm not really sure what the answer to this problem is, so I want to
know what the group thinks about how we can handle it.
During the last release of OpenRC, I learned that people *do* run
production servers on ~arch.
While I don't, and asked it just because of the large amount; it
appears from some things lately, and not just OpenRC, that there is a
certain group that regards ~arch as some kind of new stable.
This isn't solely about versions entering ~arch, but also about
versions leaving ~arch; as ~ is for testing, people should expect their
version to break and they should also expect that they cannot rely on a
version remaining in the Portage tree, that's just wrong...
We would probably benefit from formalising a clearer definition of
arch/~arch - it seems to mean a lot of different things to different people.
