We did that last year for m68k, mips, mipsel and alpha and it produced
a great flame since some machines where hosted by non DDs and none of
them were approved by the debian admin team. The opinions (including
an RM too) expressed in that flame resulted in the effort to help
archs with backlogs with extra buildds to shut down to comply with
their wishes.
