This is a horrible idea hearkening back to the problems we had a long
time ago. The stable tree's were broken messes that were that way
because developers ran ~arch but tested an app they wanted stable and
as long as it ran it was marked as such. I will protest any kind of
arch kerwording to the hilt. If you want to mark something ~arch and
have the arch that is fine with me. However this entire plan will kill
the arch teams that have not only improved the stable trees, they have
proved to be a valuable tool for recruiting, as both the x86 and amd64
team have have a 60+% ratio of arch testers becoming developers.
In other words *smacks everyone with the protest sign*
