Sometimes I worry that these issues aren't brought up to the attention
of those who would be most likely to care about it. A call for help on
-devel or -release about $arch needing xyz, or worse having the problem
be outlined only in some deep thread or discussed on irc, seems less
likely to generate a useful response as a mail to -$arch. I don't
currently follow all of the -$arch lists (mainly just -mips) but I don't
recall having seen much there about these issues.
