No, you've misunderstood. He's saying people add new packages and then speculatively add keywords for a bunch of architectures that they haven't tested. This causes unnecessary packages to be keyworded on archs that don't want them and can hardly afford the extra load. The appropriate thing to do when adding a new package is to add only keywords you can test and maintain (likely just ~amd64), and then file a keyword request to ask arch teams to keyword the package if appropriate, which leaves the choice to them.
