Fair enough. I'm rather hoping that's something those who will be opposed to this idea will help we flesh out, but here's a couple of obvious ones: * Although x86 arch recruitment is currently underway, I suspect that we will need notably more devs to be x86 arch devs than we currently have signed up. (I don't know how many arch devs amd64 have, but I assume a similar number would be needed.) I assume that the x86 will want non-dev arch-testers as well, and all of that will have to be set up. * Having bodies on [EMAIL PROTECTED] is just the starting point. The more difficult part will be convincing people that it is in their best interests to do things this way. Similarly, what do we do with devs who refuse? All of those issues still remain to be worked out. -g2boojum- -- Grant Goodyear Gentoo Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76
