I'm missing a statement regarding the maintenance of architectures in the main archive.
This particular topic seems to have been neglected in the past months a bit with
architectures that are scheduled for removal (armel, mips64el) and architectures
scheduled for inclusion (loong64) have not seen any activity in the archive so far
despite previously made announcements.
Do you know what the current time frame is and can we expect some movement in the
near future?
Thanks,
Adrian
