But it seems that they do not want to become Arch testers and bring things to stable, do not you think? >> And if you want to move stabilization checks to unqualified users, >> then it is way to nowhere. > > No, because there would be much more users giving feedback. Feedback is good. But if it simple "works for me" without tests on CFLAGS/LDFLAGS respect regression, cross-compile breakage regression or any other regressions, than it is pointless. I would suggest increase number of arch testers...

So, let's summarize what i mean. To deal with our current problems with arches we have only two ways: 1) drop some arches to unstable -> lower the burden to arch teams; 2) recruit more arch testers/arch team members; -- Best regards, Sergey Popov Gentoo developer Gentoo Desktop Effects project lead Gentoo Qt project lead Gentoo Proxy maintainers project lead
