I didn't say the amd64 team. That certainly is not the opinion of the
team but of only few. Like the person writing the GR in the first
place. He wants amd64 in sarge and helping sarge to get released
without amd64 would be counterproductive to his wants.
I'm not saying he does. I just ment to say that proposing people
should do what they don't want is stupid.
