The rationale was (1) to maintain a selection of which packages get built (as opposed to building everything), and (2) to give an incentive for people to actually maintain a package. But I guess there’s another question behind it which only you can answer: why not build everything? So far, I’ve been under the assumption that we shouldn’t abuse TU Delft’s build farm. > If there is a meta.platforms attribute, it doesn't hurt to build it > anyway. I don’t think it’s worth building a package if nobody dared to put their name in it.
