I've used that as a personal policy for years. In my case, I restrict the architecture set ONLY when maintaining all architectures becomes a burden. So far it has happened only in one package (ITK), and its downstream dependencies. I am left with a question whether that is what you are proposing, or whether you mean to preemptively restrict the architectures even when they are not troublesome? I would support the former but the latter position seems unwarranted to me. > Like all policy proposals, this is not meant to be a hard rule for all time. > We can and should revisit the issue later! Absolutely. The working set of machines does change over time as you mention yourself. I remember doing neuroinformatics research coding on SGI IRIX machines -- which will surely date me. :-) -Steve
