This is probably the smaller problem. The link shows a bug where none of the aforementioned arch teams have keyworded the requested packages in 4 months. How would the arches.desc proposal fix "dead arch teams"? Sure, it will make maintenance easier for pure stablereqs, but the other half of keywording does not happen. All the ia64/ppc/sparc KEYWORDREQs I have filed for sci-* packages I have closed and dekeyworded for revdeps. We have had KEYWORDREQs open for over a year with 0 activity. If the keywording inactivity continues, I will also continue to dekeyword packages.
