 Lets say we started development on x86, then we want to
 move to another arch, or a totally new arch. I would like
 to know the process, lets say compared to Debian.

Hey Mike,
thanks a lot for your document.
It seems really easy to do this. (Well, after you know how to handle

I guess the wicking part and the compilation of packages will add some work.
But it really seems simple.

Thanks,
Kfir
