Please note that I don't want to offend non-x86 devs in any way. I just have 
the feeling that it is easy to make the mistake of not changing the KEYWORDS 
(to what you have tested) when doing a version bump. My suggested check was 
as a way to remind people of the need to reset the KEYWORDS, not in any way 
meant to hamper alternate archs, to the contrary.
