Re: Will the amd64 port be rejected because of the 98% rule?

That's not fair either, unless you require all packages to be autobuilt
(which is a thread we don't need to duplicate now).  There have always
been a significant number of packages which FTBFS except on the
developer's own machine, usually i386.  This artificially inflates the
percentage on the "port with the highest build percentage".

In the end the decision to apply this benchmark will be manual and
arbitrary; it's not like a precise way to measure it really matters.
As stated elsewhere, at present, nobody except i386 comes even close to
98%.
