It means that release managers do not care about the state of the SH port. It means SH target maintainers have to watch how the release goes and decide when to put effort into testing and fixing bugs themselves, otherwise they may run into the situation that the SH port does not even build for the release. So kind of target maintainers for ports that are not primary or secondary are their own release managers without any control over release timing. Richard.
