All in all, I'm in favor of dropping stable keywords for minor arches, if it is possible to keep up with the same quality. With regards to m68k armin76 blogged recently about an emulator[1]. Maybe if we don't want to drop stable keywords a "keywording and stabilization timeout" [2] would be sufficient (i.e. every dev can add a testing/stable keyword after testing it). Do we keep any statistics about the user base of each arch? There was a GSOC project called gentoostats [3], does anybody know anything about its current status?
