Skype is pretty popular nowdays. 64-bit systems are pretty popular
too, you know. Yes, we had conflict with policy. But in this case i
think the policy is the one that must be changed.
Do you want to merge 32-bit and 64-bit software for nonfree and tainted?
For exeptions like Skype.
Why?
Or we need to add Nonfree 32 for 64-bit systems which makes a lot less
sense to me.
If we add core 32-bit, then why not nonfree 32-bit? Why to bloat our
servers with pseudo 64-bit packages?
Or you will start explaining to users again, why we don't have Skype
in our distro :(
1. Skype isn't in our distro, just a dummy package.
2. Moving into the right place = not shipping at all?
3. Tagging Skype as noarch is a falsehood. What about the coming ARM?
What about other 32-bit only software?
It worked w/o any problems on 64-bit systems. Now we are back in
square one.
Every 32-bit software should work without any problems with 64-bit
systems.. this is not a real argument.
