35 none
These are 4 blocks:
1. 1-10 architectures on ftp-master (including all release architectures)
2. 11-21 architectures currently active in ports
3. 22-34 architectures that do no longer exist even in ports, or that never existed
4. 35 none
Block 3 should not be there.
We keep in the BTS only bugs for architectures that exist at least in ports,
and debian/ in packages only supports such packages.
E.g. powerpcspe, ia64 and kfreebsd-* have been removed from ports recent-ish,
and support is being removed for them everywhere.
There is a special case regarding porters of a port that is currently in the
initial bringup for ports, but these shouldn't require help with filing bugs.
