This comes down to a scalability issue. There's ~3 people working on alpha, and ~2 working on ia64. The current KEYWORDS system has definite scalability problems becuase it expects each arch team to keep up with all the ebuilds in the tree. Until the system changes, developers might need to keep ebuilds around longer than they would otherwise like. > I have asked repeatedly that people do this, as I do not have IA64, > SPARC, AMD64 or PowerPC systems available to me on which I can build and > test Mozilla out. It's really helpful that you do that.

Yes, that's a huge help. It allows us to prioritize ebuilds that users are actually using..
