A great part of the RC bugs preventing packages to migrate to testing are bugs
on non-x86 architectures. Most commercial distributions only deal with x86...
For instance, from what C.Cheney says, the problem with the glibc ISO C thing
is for s390. This problem will appear to those distributing GNU/Linux for
s390... which we can count on one finger... (if you only consider "big"
distros)
