Hi Arthur, thanks for taking the time to write this mail.

======== x86 ======== Stable 32-bit arch. I'll be honest, I don't believe at all this should be stable arch anymore.
I have the impression as well. The time to drop stable keywords for x86 probably has come. But I always wonder if there is a x86 use-case we are not aware of. Therefore, if there is a group of x86 Gentoo users out there, then they should speak now and ideally elaborate a bit on their use case.
======== hppa ======== Sigh. Stable 64-bit arch. Out main Gentoo devbox died, and the second one is always stuck compiling gcc for stage3 (a compilation takes 7 days). Here we have a fight in Arch Team. I prefer to destable it, Sam prefers to stable it. This one is tough.
It's not a fight, just a disagreement, or is it? ;)Probably time would be better invested in other architectures. However, I remember sam saying that he has a special interested in hppa and there is nothing better than working on stuff that you care about. So maybe just give stable hppa a try and re-evaluate the situation in a year or so?
======== riscv ======== Dev arch. I don't have much info on it, but I heard some mess with riscv32 and riscv64, so maybe time to split it? I leave it to riscv arch team, which works quite well, but I'll be happy to open discussion for it.
IMHO should be split into 32- and 64-bit keywords. Ideally we would also consider renaming the 'riscv' keyword to 'riscv64', but maybe this ship has sailed?
What about (64-bit) RISC-V becoming stable? Not sure if they time for it has already come, but it certainly will come. I might gain access to a 64-core RISC-V system (Milk-V Pioneer), so I could probably help with riscv stabilization.
